 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.

History and Restoration of the Margie (Ken Valk)
 The gasoline powered scale yacht “Margie” is one of the most unique and innovative models that was ever designed and constructed. Its hull was patterned after a World War II John L. Hacker Cabin Cruiser and was scaled down by Don Lyons. Master Craftsman Virgil Gustavino of The San Francisco Model Club originally built her in the early 1940’s. However, it was Ed DeGear, Margie’s first and only owner who is credited with giving Margie many of her advanced mechanical engineering components.
