History
CCYC was incorporated November 13, 1923.
In 1950, the club merged with the Southwestern Yacht Club. The Southwestern Yacht Club was the result of another merge that took place in 1949 between the Southwestern Yacht Club, founded in 1945, and the Corpus Christi Sailing Club, founded also right after World War II by a few young members of the Thomas Lipton Yacht Club. The Corpus Christi Sailing Club and the Southwestern Yacht Club had been the most active racing clubs in Corpus Christi. CCSC's first regatta, a 12 boats Snipe competition, took place June 15 and 16, 1946. In this class, Billy Wicker, commodore of the Southwestern Yacht Club, and Robert Vetters won the Nationals, hosted at Corpus Christi Sailing Club in 1948, before the merge.
CCYC hosted the Optimist World Championship in 2002, and the Melges 24 World Championship in 2011.
