Speaker Series
CYC Speaker Series ...For a Good
Yarn..
Sailors, like fishermen, can tell stories, and when they
aren't on the water, they are talking or listening to stories about being on
the water. One could say "sailors are a curious bunch."
The CYC Speaker Series baits that
curiosity. We have listened to thrilling adventures, nerdy gear-based
discussions, lively debates, and together we have dreamed and schemed while
hearing about places we can barely find on a map.
Speakers are often, but not always, scheduled the first
Thursday of each month; to see upcoming speakers check the calendar.
The CYC Speaker Series is free
and open to the public. Speakers start at 7 pm and the Sail Loft Bar
opens at 6:15 pm.

Our venue is one of the most desirable on the San Francisco
Bay. Our 100-year-old ballroom with grand stone fireplace has an excellent
screen/sound system. The adjoining sun
porch and bar open to a deck with incomparable views of the San Francisco
skyline, Angel Island and the San Francisco Bay.
