Yacht club in Tiberon

If you're looking for a yacht club in Tiberon, the Corinthian Yacht Club of San Francisco is a yacht club located on 43 Main Street, Tiberon California. This yacht club in Tiberon was established in 1886 by a group of vivacious young men, whose simple goal was to promote amateur yachting in the Bay Area. The group chose the name Corinthian that bears the meaning "amateur", which they took from the realm of sailing.

From its modest beginnings, this yacht club in Tiberon was able to erect a clubhouse in 1911 of Colonial Revival inspiration, which happens to be the oldest clubhouse on the West Coast. The clubhouse offers a wonderful and panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay. This yacht club in Tiberon is built with Corinthian columns after its name.

The Corinthian's original concept was to bring together people who take a lot of interests in sailing, particularly owners of small boats. Yachting has been the Corinthian's primary interest. Today however, one can see vessels of different types and sizes sprawled across the bay of this yacht club in Tiberon. The management maintains that anybody, so long as interested in sailing on yachts, should be accepted as member.
