History
The Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle was founded on January 26, 1945, and was the third yacht club to be formed in Seattle. In the first few years, the club members met in an unused ice house near the ferry terminal in Leschi and the club organized racing on Lake Washington. Racing in the 1940s and 1950s was primarily in the six- and eight-meter classes and in the Star, Flattie (Geary 18), Blanchard Knockabout, Lightning, Mercury, International 110, and International 14 classes. By 1948, the club had built a race tower and docks at Leschi on land leased from the Seattle Parks Department. When the marina at Shilshole Bay was completed, club members designed, financed, and built a floating clubhouse that remains moored at the Shilshole marina to support racing on Puget Sound. Many major sailing championships have been held at Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle, including the 1971 Star World Championships and the 1990 Goodwill Games yachting competition.
