Classic Yacht Owners Association

The membership-driven, nonprofit Classic Yacht Owners Association was established in 2015 to encourage fellowship amongst owners within the classic yacht community. One of the organization’s goals is to help shape the future of the sport by influencing and cultivating long-term regional cooperation amongst those who are dedicated to owning, maintaining, and racing classic yachts. CYOA also works to promote classic yacht ownership with the objective of attracting new members and creating new funding opportunities to support future classic yacht events. CYOA is governed by a board of directors made up of the organizers of classic yacht regattas. The CYOA Technical Committee manages the Classic Rating Formula rating rule and develops the Classic Yacht Racing Guidelines which help provide a consistent owner experience across events.
