"The Ford Yacht Club was
begun by a small group of Ford Engineering employees and presented to the Ford
Recreation Department early in 1947. Formal organization took place with fifteen
charter members. The objective was to establish a yacht club to foster boating
activities for families of moderate means. A constitution was adopted and
William C. Vincent elected as our first Commodore.. . . 1948 - The FYC burgee
flew atop the Flagstaff masthead for the first time at the dedication ceremony
held October 2,1948. The new Club’s first regatta was also held that day with
two races. . . . 1953 - A Club for the women was started and the name of “First
Mates” chosen. . . . 2013 - The original Lightning fleet 233 was reactivated
after 50 years. The FYC Lightning fleet has grown to 10 boats. The original
Lightning fleet was responsible for the lightning bolt on the FYC burgee."
