We're delighted to host our first of this year speaker’s event at Spaulding Marine Center. Allen Gross will be sharing the history and stewardship of the SF Bay Folly through photos, first-hand experience and details of the boat up close in the yard. 

About Folly

From her construction in North Beach in 1889 to her most recent participation in the Master Mariners Regattas, Folly has been a consequential boat in the history of racing on the Bay.

Folly’s owner, Allen Gross, will relate what he has discovered about the individuals and events chronicled in historical research resources.

The presentation will also touch upon the physical changes to the vessel from her launch as a gaff rigged cutter and subsequent conversion to Marconi in the 1930’s and to her 8 year refit completed in 2014.

Folly will be in the Spaulding Yard for the event.
