AMERICA'S CUP COMES TO THE WEST COAST

As you know, America's Cup racing will be held on San Francisco Bay this summer, starting in July with the Louis Vuitton Series.  There is no better spot to view the competition than from the decks and dining rooms of St. Francis Yacht Club.  Through the years, BYC has enjoyed reciprocal privileges with StFYC, and they are offering our members the opportunity to visit their club and enjoy the racing this summer.  Click HERE for a letter from the StFYC Commodore, and a calendar / flyer on the opportunties available. This is a great invitation for our Members to enjoy front row seats at this "once in a lifetime" event.  Go Team Oracle and USA!


OPENING DAY WEEKEND SETS RECORDS!

The festivities began with a very successful Swabbies Ball, thanks to the J-Flags and continued with the events of Opening Day on Saturday!   We had a record-breaking 87 boats on the dock and it ended up one of the best Opening Days in a long time.  The weekend concluded with over 400 members and guests treating Mom to Mother's Day on Sunday.   If you didn't pick one up, click HERE for the Official BYC Opening Day Program
