Welcome
Ahoy Berkeley Yacht Club!
We will be participating in a holiday toy drive for needy children this season. A box for new unwrapped children's gifts has been conveniently placed in the central lounge space of the club for your convenience. We would like to have an OVERFLOWING box to donate by December 18th. You might consider bringing a gift as early as this Friday! We would appreciate YOUR help as well!
Join us to experience the wonder of the Berkeley Waterfront and the magic of the winter season!

First, we would like to thank all 2018 board members for the considerable amount of work and their contribution to the club. Special thanks to members that are stepping down from the board: Commodore Chuck Bullett, Paul Boatman, Tom Loughran and Bob Bratton. Chuck, enjoy the silver stars :-).
BYC Winter Nights welcomes the Blues Bottle Band to the BYC Lounge this Friday, October 5 at 8:00 pm.
Why are they called the Blues Bottle Band? No idea. But I do know that I like a good five piece blues band in a cool setting like the bar at the BYC.
The jammin' starts at 8:00 pm so why not get here a little early and get in a nice sunset and a cocktail beforehand.
Winter Nights have arrived!
Mark Bird BYC Rear Commodore
