The
Shoreline Model Yacht Club website was created to keep members
informed, and attract a broader audience by introducing ourselves to
the community. We'll use this site to inform people about our club,
share ideas, and organize events and activities. We meet at Shoreline
Lake in
Mountain View, CA. on Saturdays, Spring thru Fall for
informal sailing and
racing our CR-914 fleet . 
The our group usually sails on the third Saturday of each month, weather permitting. Follow the signs into the park directing you to the Lakeside Cafe/Sailing Center. We sail at the south end of the lake, near the golf course, on the lawn next to the Lakeside Cafe (or look for us by the boat docks). Check the schedule on the 2008 Season page for start times.
We welcome visitors and enthusiasts of all ages. Visitors are welcome to sail our boats and we are pleased to offer information and help for anyone interested in getting into model yachting.
