Encinal Yacht Club Cruise-In
Friday the 11th to Sunday 13th

Please welcome Encinal Yach Club to Westpoint.
The Encinal fleet will be located on H-Dock this weekend. Do stop by and welcome them.
EYC is the 3rd oldest yacht club on the Bay and was founded in 1890. The club was established by residents living in Alameda’s Gold Coast, on the south shore of the Island. The first clubhouse was designed and built by Commodore Joseph A. Leonard, at the end of a 1,000-foot pier extending into the bay from the foot of Grand Street. The clubhouse was an elaborate Victorian design, the main floor was reserved for dancing and the second floor was the residence of the club manager. The San Francisco Chronicle declared the clubhouse to be the finest of its type on the entire Pacific Coast.

Special PYSF Event – $150 per person

This past weekend our March 12 event at the Candy Store was faced with a big wind shift. The SailGP athletes are no longer available that weekend, so we are tacking onto the lift and making our way up the beat!!

We will pivot to a cocktail party to bring together this great community of PY supporters and sailing enthusiasts to celebrate 20 years of PYSF (kid-powered since 2002!) and talk about what is ahead for Bay Area sailing. All amongst a collection of amazing cars at the exclusive members-only club, The Candy Store.

We will have renowned world-class competitive sailor and PY Board member Katie Pettibone speaking on her pathway and a presentation on where we are headed.

Please reserve your spot by contacting Secretary@PYSF.us now! It is an extremely limited amount of space allotted to keep the priceless collection of cars safe!!
