The San Francisco Yacht Club, founded in 1869 and incorporated in 1873, is the oldest yacht club on the Pacific Coast. The original anchorage and Clubhouse were located on Long Bridge in San Francisco near Mission Rock, but the filling of Mission Bay for the Railroad Transportation Center forced the Club to move. Waterfront property was purchased in Sausalito and a new Clubhouse was erected and opened in September 1878. The Clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1897 with the loss of most of the trophies and records. In late 1957 a new facility in Belvedere Cove was constructed, where the Club continues to race from today. Luminist painters like Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865) and James Buttersworth (1817-1894) were the first to come to the Bay Area to take advantage of the views and capture the races. The America’s Cup race of 1887 in New York Harbor was the first to be painted by multiple artists, captivated by the drama and action of the race. Soon after this yacht organizations around the country began commissioning artists to capture the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, and maritime artists throughout the 20th Century and today continue to document these thrilling events.
