In the summer of 1869, a group of active local yachtsmen formed the San Francisco Yacht Club – the first yacht club west of the Mississippi – to create a more active, orderly and monitored form of conduct, and ensure that Bay Area racing was respected. More than 150 years later, SFYC has grown into an internationally recognized and respected club.
The original anchorage and clubhouse were located in San Francisco, near Mission Rock, but inadequate depth of water and increasing industrial growth in the area resulted in a move to Sausalito. Waterfront property was purchased and a new clubhouse erected, but it was subsequently destroyed by fire in 1897. The rebuilt building is still standing and now houses a restaurant, currently called Trident.
