This photo is dated 1956, but might be older. The original dining room, now part of San Leandro YC, is on the east side of the building (the photo is taken looking to the northwest). No information is available on the identity of the vessel in the foreground - anyone who can shed light on this is encouraged to contact BYC.

This photo is probably from the early '60s, based on the fiberglass Victory class sailboat in the foreground. It predates the complete rebuilding of the clubhouse that began in the '60s.
