Columbia Yacht Club company history timeline

1967

The Columbia Sailing Club Ladies Auxiliary was organized in October 1967 and raised money for the construction of the covered patio and grill on the west end of the building and for construction of the bathhouse.

1982

By 1982, the 100-year old S.S. Florida could no longer house the ever-growing membership and its popular parties.

1983

The Abby left the Northumberland Strait for good in April 1983 and remains "in service" today, hosting our members and their guests on the scenic Chicago lakefront at the foot of Randolph Street.

When the back cove mooring facilities were developed they were expected to be sufficient for many years, but by 1983 it was time to expand.

1991

In October 1991, our need for a Resident Manager was filled and our CSC family grew with the addition of James and Betty Dedmon.

1996

The Park District began a $35 million harbor improvement project in 1996 to upgrade aging boat slips and other facilities.

2001

In 2001, the Auxiliary established its own Outstanding Service Award, named after Jessie Helms in honor of her years of service and Rebecca Dotterer was its first recipient.

2002

In 2002, SCE&G began lowering the lake level to elevation 345 MSL for work on the dam.

2005

In 2005, our first female Commodore, Sarah Weiss, took the helm and re-focused CSC on youth programs.

2007

Our 50th anniversary in 2007 marked the end of one era and the beginning of another.

2009

In 2009, following several years of construction, the Club resumed its normal atmosphere and everyone settled into having fun and enjoying the camaraderie.

2010

In 2010, Mike Lambert joined the CSC family as Resident Manager.
