The iconic Peninsula Yacht Club sits square iin the middle of Docktown's future, soon to be revisted by Citiy's planners, landowners, and developers.

The sale will begin at 8 AM, with music starting around noon. Donations gratefully accepted. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
The Mardi Gras Party will begin around 7 after the day time events, with authentic New Orleans food and revelry and burn-a-hole through your socks dance music with Pointless, Bro Daddy, Point of Order, Jack Aces, and Jack Johnson's All Pro Jam. . $15 separate entrance fee at the door.
In between events will include boat rides on the creek, and a free screening of Last Free Ride, the epic hip rock and roll pirate movie filmed on the Sausalito waterfront during the Houseboat wars of the early 70s, plus a silent auction and other happenings to be announced.
Our historic buildingThe landmark water tank above the club was constructed in the 1800s to provide water for the steam ships that traveled up the creek to service the downtown port, since paved over, which was then the heart of the city. Ships carried Redwood City lumber from this port to build and then rebuild the cit of San Francisco. The tank, and the building below it represent the last vestige of this rich maritime history.
The Peninsula Yacht club moved into the raw building beneath the tank in 1980, expanding and improving it over the years, and turning into a gathering place for sailors and land lubbers to celebrate, congregate and contribute to the well being of the Redwood Creek. It has also become a community center for Docktown, hosting weddings, baby showers, and funerals along with our great parties, Friday Night dinners, yoga classes, drum circle, staging center for sailing expeditions, pool tournaments, movie nights, and community meetings.
Please help us save our Yacht Club building.
