San Francisco Yacht Club

Congratulations to our Yachtsman of the Year, Matt Frymier! His contributions and achievements have been immenseboth as a sailor and as a volunteer for youth sailing programs around the country. Congratulations, Matt. Well deserved.

Prepping the Lawn for diners. SFYC is so lucky to have this great outdoor space where members can dine in the open air, spread out.

We had a splendid time at our Cove House Cookout last Wednesday! From 5pm-8pm each Wednesday, we'll continue to grill dogs, burgers, and steaks at the Cove House with limited, reservation-only indoor dining and open seating on the lawn. The big screens will be on with sports or music, but the rules of social distancing, of course, remain in place.

Bay views from aboard. Did someone say San Francisco dreamin'?

Tomorrow on the Lawn from 3-6: Phil Claypool! Grab a table (first-come, first-served) and enjoy the music of this renowned artist. See you at the club tomorrow!

Last weekend, the Auxiliary hosted a socially distant sail aboard the beautiful Matthew Turner, a 132-ft brigantine owned by SFYC members Alan & Angie Olson. We're so grateful for the opportunity to sail despite 2020's circumstances!

This time last year, we were all gathered at our Tinsley Island 7-Club Cruise event! #throwback #precovid19

Last weekend at @balboayachtclub US Sailing hosted the only championship it will host in 2020: The Championship of Champions. Raced in Harbor 20s this year, this unique event welcomes champion sailors from a wide array of one-design classes to fleet race against each other for the prestigious Jack Brown Trophy. Congratulations to SFYC competitors, who placed 5th (Jim Cunningham with Steve Hunt (SDYC)) and 10th (Chris Kostanecki with Matthew Sessions)!

The second race of the Fall Fiasco Series took place on Saturday under mostly cloudy skies and up-and-down wind. Fifteen boats participated, and racing was very competitive with multiple overlaps on the finish line. Congratulations to: ... 1st Overall: Hank Easom - Serenade 1st Singlehanded: Jib Martens - Freedom 1st Doublehanded: Rob Overton - SFYC J/22 See more

Keep an eye on @ussailing and @balboayachtclub this weekend as they cover the #championshipofchampions! SFYC has two berths: Jim Cunningham/Steve Hunt and Chris Kostanecki/Matthew Sessions. The regatta will be raced in Harbor 20s. Due to COVID, US Sailing had to cancel all other championships this year and we’re pretty excited to have at least one sailboat race to watch!
