Views and wildlife will greet you even before you leave the dock. On shore choose from world-class restaurants within walking distance for your enjoyment pre or post sail. Explore the galleries with a vibrant, local folk and fine art scene. Sausalito was a muse for 60's and 70's classic Rock 'n' Roll with many legendary albums recorded at the Plant Studio. Never a dull moment.

Legend.
Myron Spaulding, the Dean of Boat Builders
By Larry Clinton, Sausalito Historical Society
Myron Spaulding was a violinist who was also regarded as the finest sailor on San Francisco Bay in the 20th century. Even his peers and sometimes rival skippers Hank Easom and Warwick “Commodore” Tompkins agreed with this assessment, according to a 2020 profile of Spaulding in the sailing publication Latitude 38.
Spaulding was born in Eureka, in 1906. In an oral history he recorded for the Historical Society, he recalled how he got into sailing, when he joined a local yacht club at the age of six!
By 1915 he moved to San Francisco and enrolled in Polytechnic High School where he received a credential in naval architecture and boatbuilding and designed and built his first small boat. Later he earned an additional degree in music, playing the violin, which led to his day job.
After graduating, Spaulding played violin in the Fox Theatre's vaudeville orchestra, for silent movie houses, for the ballet, and eventually with the San Francisco Symphony where he performed until 1957.
