Modern Sailing and Encinal Yacht Club Reciprocal Program

Modern Sailing School and Club is excited to announce a new reciprocal program with Encinal Yacht Club (EYC), a landmark of the East Bay sailing community nestled in Alameda’s historic Gold Coast since 1890. As the third oldest yacht club on the San Francisco Bay, EYC carries a rich maritime legacy that perfectly aligns with our mission. This collaboration opens up fantastic reciprocal benefits, offering a bridge for members of both communities to expand their skills, enjoy reciprocal club access, and share their passion for life on the water.
