A Quick
History of COSA
COSA was established on March 21, 1979. However, COSA did not
appear at its Hobson Road home until much later. The first several
years of COSA's existence was based out of the old sea plane
base, on land that is now the Grand Resort. In April of 1984,
COSA and the Kelowna Rowing Club joined forces to create the
Central Okanagan Small Boat Association. A year later, COSA
purchased eight flying juniors from the Royal Vancouver Yacht
Club. The same year, COSA played host to the Canadian Hobie
National Championships. Since being built, COSBA has changed
radically. A blue paint job, thousands of bricks, a much larger
dock, motorboat lifts, dozens more LTS boats, new motor boats,
an elevator lift, a giant flag pole, and hundreds of other changes
that insured that our sailing club will remain one of the best
dinghy clubs in North America.
