Our club is devoted to the building and sailing of model yachts, both power and sail. Whether you are a builder, sailor, or just plain interested in this interesting and beautiful hobby, all are welcome.
We are located in San Francisco’s historic Golden Gate Park at the 36th Avenue and Fulton Street entrance. There we have a clubhouse and a lake, both of which are devoted to model yachting.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in model yachting and power boating. You do not need to reside in the San Francisco Bay area to be a member, we have members from across the United States. Join the San Francisco Model Yacht Club. |

 Lupo Di Mare Ken Valk has written an interesting construction article about Aging and Weathering. The article can be found here.
Since Ken completed the “Lupo Di Mare” (Sea Dog in Italian), a 60 inch 1932 era Monterey Clipper used for salmon and crabbing on the West Coast, many fellow modelers have asked how she was finished. The article includes some thoughts and tips which may help builders (beginning and experienced) to created the perfect weather and aged appearance on your next model.

COMMODORE’S CORNER
The 2008 season is off to a good start. During the March meeting we were treated to examples of incredible craftsmanship. Dick Pretel, whose assistance in the restoration of the Margie was invaluable, brought one of his hand-built model engines to the meeting. It was a real treat to see a self-starting model of an internal combustion engine actually run. And what eye candy-a beautiful piece of work.
