Berkeley Yacht Club Perks for Modern Members

February 1, 2025

Modern Sailing has been awarded "Adjunct Organization" status as identified in the Berkeley Yacht Club bylaws. An Adjunct Organization is a boating-related organization such as a sailing school, school sailing team, and another yacht club whose members may apply for Adjunct Membership. This means that Modern Sailing club members can now apply for Adjunct Membership with BYC.

BYC members also benefit from the relationship between BYC and Modern. BYC members can enroll in Modern Sailing's ASA courses and pay the discounted member rate.

In summary:

Modern Sailing Members

  • Can apply to join BYC with an Adjunct Membership, no initiation fee, only $144 annually
  • As an adjunct member, receive reciprocal benefits being offered by other local yacht clubs with reciprocal relationships

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

    Thumbs up to (Club Skipper) Geoff (Love) and his wife Laura. I went on my first Club Sail on Sunday, January 18, 2026. They were terrific!

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.
