The purpose of this club is to bring together recreational boaters to enjoy the sport of boating, along with the social activities that go hand in hand with belonging to a yacht club. Some of our members have large boats, some small. Some prefer sail propulsion, others are devoted power boaters. We also have members who are on extended cruises to other parts of the world. The common denominator among all these people is that they are friendly, warm, unpretentious […]

The Half Moon Bay Yacht Club was established in 1978 by a small group of Coastsiders with a shared interest in sailing. The group used the harbormaster’s storage room as its first facility. From there, it grew into a true yacht club that organized racing, trained new members, facilitated access to sailing for those without boats, explored kayaking, hosted visiting racers and cruisers, and enjoyed a rich social calendar. Later, the club was able to purchase its first clubhouse from […]

The Golden Gate Yacht Club was founded in 1939, when members built the first clubhouse on a barge located in the San Francisco Marina.

One of this issues the club faces when putting on an event is knowing how many people might attend. A perfect example of this is the Steele Cup regatta scheduled for 8/16. We might get 5 banshees or 25 (ok, maybe 15). And we might get 3 Lido 14’s or we might get a whole bunch. We really don’t know. And not knowing makes it very difficult to plan. How much food & drinks do we bring for the potluck? […]

On the horizon I see an eager rising sun on the misty cloud lit sky and […]
