Live Steam Event on San Francisco's beautiful Spreckels Lake!


Greetings all....

As Power Squadron Officer for the San Francisco Model Yacht Club, I am here to gauge interest in holding another Steam-Up, A Model Maritime Live Steam event this upcoming August in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on Spreckels Lake as we have done in the past though we are looking at possibly revamping the format a bit this year.

2009 Steam Up

2010 SteamUp

A Flicker Slide Show for 2010

So..... What would you like? Would you like it to be a Saturday, a Sunday or both?
Is the weekend 17th good for you?
(On the weekend before, the Lake is closed due to OUTSIDE LANDS, a huge multi-concert and cultural event)

What other activities would you like to see other than ship handling contest and a Concours? No host dinner Saturday evening? What's you're pleasure.

Talk to me guys! We are in the planning stages and just about everything may be possible. we want to make this year the best one yet.
All comments and suggestions are welcome

Capt. Lee and Nick Monahan (late of Monahan Steam Models) chat during set-up behind
a row of steam powered boats made by Dave Gallagher, John Brock and himself.


Alan J. Zulberti with his model of the Steamship Tahoe.


"LS Dolly" from the Ullswater, circa 1850. Anthony Wheeler, Builder/Skipper and, of course,
there would flowers in M'Ladys cabin! Hot water in the wee boiler for tea as well!


Based on the Krick Victoria Steam River Launch, the "Victoria" is another boat built and
skippered by Dave Gallagher. The "Victoria" has a Cheddar "Gemini" Vertical Twin
powerplant and was Dave's first boat.


Don Cucci's "LUISA C." one very, very powerful boat!!!

That might warrant scheduling a trip across the pond.
