	HISTORY OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOAT CLUB (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Oklahoma City Boat Club (OCBC) was originally founded on Lake Overholser in 1930 when a group of sailing and boating enthusiasts formed the Oklahoma City Yacht Club, as it was called at that time.
		Organizational meetings took place in 1943 and the club was incorporated in 1944 under the name of the Oklahoma City Boat Club, Inc. During the next two years before any water flowed into the reservoir, the sites for the harbor, docks and clubhouse were staked out and docks and rip rapping were built.
		Because Lake Hefner is situated at or near the highest elevation in Oklahoma County and lack of obstructions to the winds, average wind velocities are high, often too high for comfortable or safe centerboard sailing.
