Cruising Program

Encinal Yacht Club offers an excellent yachting program to cruise out with other members to reciprocal yacht clubs. In fact this program is one of the oldest programs of our club. Looking back at our history our first cruise out was to Sausalito to visit the San Francisco Yacht Club in May of 1892. This is according to author Woodruff C. Minor in his book On The Bay. To see details of each cruise out, visit the Cruise Schedule link below. We have 10 cruise out planned this year. Each one is to a different location. Each town and club we cruise in has a unique character. All members are welcome. If you can’t come by boat, feel free join us for a dinner at the event. If you would like to join, check out the Cruise Schedule  below and sign up with the cruise leader.
