 Our club is devoted to the building and sailing of model yachts, both power and sail. Whether you are a builder, sailor, or just plain interested in this interesting and beautiful hobby, all are welcome.
We are located in San Francisco’s historic Golden Gate Park at the 36th Avenue and Fulton Street entrance. There we have a clubhouse and a lake, both of which are devoted to model yachting.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in model yachting and power boating. You do not need to reside in the San Francisco Bay area to be a member, we have members from across the United States. Join the San Francisco Model Yacht Club. |

 COMMODORE’S CORNER
We have passed the half way point in the year. I believe we have had a good year thus far, and there appears to be nothing on the horizon that suggests the second half will be otherwise.
The first half was capped by the Santa Barbara National Championships, which were held over the July 4th weekend.

 Wooden Boats on Parade The San Francisco Model Yacht Club will host its big fall event, Wooden Boats on Parade, on Saturday, October 11th, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The venue is beautiful Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park. The lake is located at 36th Avenue and Fulton Streets ( Map).
Since its inception in 1996, the show has grown to become one of the largest model boat exhibitions in the country. The last show, held two years ago, attracted over 200 participants from the Western United States and Canada. Its purpose is to promote the skills and craftsmanship of model boat building and sailing by showcasing some of the finest examples of museum quality vintage and contemporary ship models in a relaxed and non-competitive setting. |
