The Association is RYA-affiliated and is represented on the council of RYA Scotland. It is also a member of the Clyde Moorings Committee, the Clyde River Marine Safety Committee, and the Clyde Forum, providing an effective working relationship with all major marine bodies in the area.

The CYCA is authorised to issue internationally-valid C-suffix sail numbers, and manages the CYCA Handicap System for monohull yachts.

The CYCA owns the Dragon Gold Cup and has a sub-committee which works with the International Dragon Association on organisation of the event. details

Preparation of the annual racing and muster calendar is coordinated by the CYCA with Constituent Clubs. In conjunction with the clubs, the Association also seeks to achieve consistency in Race Management practices reflecting local circumstances.
