Evolution of the Century Club

When Anchorage Marina Condominium Association was established, there was no provision for a yacht club, nor funds to establish a club. Some slip owners felt a social aspect to our marina was important. It would provide reciprocity with other clubs, give racing sailors the affiliation required to participate in sanctioned races, and create an opportunity for social events at the condominium facilities. A committee united to plan sponsorship of a sailboat race (Anchorage Cup) that could be a fundraiser for a yacht club. However, there was no seed money for the upfront costs. Hence, the Century Club was born. The first 40 members who were willing to contribute $100.00 toward the Century Club created an operating fund. In return, each participant was to be recognized on a plaque, as well as a page in a directory also to be created by the yacht club. These funds are to be used as seed money each year, and replenished to the $4000.00 level from event proceeds, and to be ever present as a support fund for future yacht club activities. The yacht club charges no dues for membership, and has no role in the association budget. The Anchorage Marina Yacht Club has matured to become a significant independent entity of Anchorage Marina Condominium Association, and continues to be appreciative of the foresight and financial support of those who pioneered it.
