April 8, 1952: “KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENT: That we, the undersigned, LOUIS J. ROSENKRANZ, CHARLES E. LEVESON, JOHN R. SAHANOW, JOSEPH WEISS and WILLIAM C. STEIN, all of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, have this day voluntarily associated ourselves together for the purpose of forming a yacht club, AND WE HEREBY CERTIFY:
That the name of this yacht club is:
DEL REY YACHT CLUB”
The above verbatim quotation from the preamble and first article of the Club’s charter indicates the high hopes of the five organizers (and concurrently the first Board of Directors, first slate of officers, and at the time, the entire Membership) of the new club dedicated “to promote and encourage, as its primary function and purpose, an interest in amateur yachting in all its phases…” The presumptuousness (or vision) of this founding group is further indicated by the choice of the club name at a time when the idea of a harbor or marina at the place once known as the “Bay of Winds” was still in the “dream” stage.
