To provide generally for the mutual assistance, enjoyment, entertainment and improvement of its members. CPYC was formed in 1972 when a group of boaters living in Erie and belonging to the Barcelona Yacht Club decided to start a new club closer to home. Tired of driving thirty miles to attend yacht club meetings and social functions, the group began to solicit prospective members to form a new club.
Invitations were sent to lists from Presque Isle Marina and other bay boating facilities to see if anyone would be interested in forming a new Erie, PA yacht club. A fairly large group of boaters turned out for this initial meeting held at Syd's Cafe on West Eight Street. Those attending the meeting agreed to start a new club and committees were set up to name the club and agree on a structure.
