CYC & MSC Partnership: Reciprocal Access and Sailing Opportunities

Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC) Clubhouse on Tiburon

February 27, 2025

Modern Sailing School and Club is honored to announce a new partnership with Corinthian Yacht Club (CYC), a landmark institution gracing the shores of Racoon Strait in Tiburon since 1886. This collaboration unites two pillars of the San Francisco Bay sailing community, offering reciprocal benefits to members of both organizations. 

 
For Modern Sailing Members: 

  • Members looking to visit CYC: The historic Corinthian Yacht Club, a haven of camaraderie and refined hospitality, opens its doors for Modern Sailing members, arriving aboard a chartered vessel from the MSC fleet and presenting their designated reciprocal access pass.  Enjoy exclusive privileges, including access to CYC’s guest dock, and moorings. Indulge in a delectable lunch or dinner at the renowned clubhouse, or simply relax and savor the stunning views after a day on the water.  Whether you’re cruising, racing in the CYC Friday night series, or simply exploring the Bay, the Corinthian Yacht Club extends a warm welcome to Modern Sailing’s charter members.

For Corinthian Yacht Club Members:
Enhance your sailing experience with Modern Sailing’s exceptional programs and fleet. In partnership with Modern, CYC will offer some ASA courses directly from the CYC docks. Modern Sailing will also deliver boats to the CYC dock for Club Sails skippered by MSC members as another way for CYC members to enjoy MSC sailing activities. 

  • CYC members will receive a 50% discount off MSC Membership initiation fee
  • CYC members will receive a 10% discount off non-member rates for all Modern Sailing School offerings at MSC Sausalito and MSC Berkeley

In announcing the partnership, Leigh Hunt, MSC CEO and Owner said “We are very excited to have this partnership with Corinthian Yacht Club.  There are so many mutual benefits.  From ASA courses for Corinthian Yacht Club members, to becoming a sailing destination, and welcoming MSC members to CYC social events, I would love to see more of our respective communities become members of both organizations.”

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • John Clark

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

  • Andrew Goble, San Francisco

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

  • Warren Leiden, Member

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

  • John Boynton

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.
