The Golden Gate Yacht Club (GGYC) was founded in 1939, when members built a clubhouse on a barge in the San Francisco Marina. After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake severely damaged the club, members pulled together and rebuilt it.
Today, GGYC is a popular cruise and regatta venue on the San Francisco waterfront. The Club is located on the jetty directly east of the St. Francis Yacht Club and north of the Marina Green, at the end of Yacht Road in San Francisco.
Members include:
- Larry Ellison
- Tom Hurley
The Golden Gate Yacht Club entered the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup via the BMW Oracle Racing team lead by Larry Ellison. The Louis Vuitton Cup is used to select the challenger for the America's Cup. BMW Oracle Racing were eliminated in the semi-finals.
