The
Corinthian's primary concern has always
been yachting. Originally founded to unite small boat owners, the Corinthian
now accommodates all types of yachts. Always at the fore front of sailing
tradition in the Bay Area, the Corinthian founded such popular traditions
as Opening Day on the Bay, The Blessing of the Fleet, and the Midwinter
races. The Corinthian encourages the sailors of the future by offering
affordable memberships to younger enthusiasts. And year-round sailing instruction
is available to ocean-goers of all ages.
The
Clubhouse dining room is the perfect setting for the Corinthian's world-class
cuisine. Members savor delicious meals at reasonable prices, while enjoying
the panoramic view through the dining room's enormous windows. There's
no better place to enjoy a relaxing meal by the Bay. Rich in history and
yachting achievement, the Corinthian Yacht Club still flourishes today.
The Corinthian was founded in 1886 by a group of high-spirited young yachtsmen
who wanted to promote small boat yachting in the Bay Area. As the second
oldest yacht club on the West Coast, the Corinthian offers its members
both sailing related services and a bountiful social calendar. The
elegant Colonial Revival clubhouse-the oldest on the West Coast-was built
in 1911, and offers a spectacular unobstructed view of San Francisco Bay.
Membership:
The Corinthian offers its members a number of exclusive benefits. These
include 35 planned social events each year, such as the New Year's Eve
Ball, the Clambake, and the unique Cooks and Waiters dinner. The Club's
facilities include a spacious redwood-paneled ballroom with a stunning
view of San Francisco Bay. Small-boat regattas remain a part of the Corinthian's
rich sea-faring tradition, and the sailing instruction program introduces
new fans to the sport every year. A wide variety of membership categories
is available, all reasonably priced. We welcome you to find out more about
the benefits of membership by contacting the Corinthian directly.
