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

    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!

  • Andrew Goble, San Francisco

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    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!

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.
