The skyline is generally high in the north and low in the south. The highest point in the west is the 150m-tall apartment tower, and a gradual decline occurs in the east before a new rise comes at the club. All rooftops feature arc design, which resemble surging waves and become a beautiful skyline along the coast.
The volume and shape of the club look tremendously dynamic and much impressive. 3mm-thick aluminum panels are used for the skirt building, and the aluminum panel area reaches around 1313㎡, comprising the main keel of cantilever components and ribbon-shaped aluminum panels; the arc-shaped façade of the tower building has an area of 6071㎡, and modular method is applied to make folding glass curtain wall the same unit on each floor. There are approximately 20 modular units in total.
The main building includes the club and multi-purpose banquet hall. A large canopy is constructed to connect both places and offer space for cool shade and rain protection according to weather conditions of Xiamen. The building is conceived as a whale breaching and creating a big splash. The large canopy functions as a dividing line, the upper part resembles a fish’s body, and the folded and wavy modules of the façade look like fish scales; the lower part is waves composed of boxes in interwoven arrangement, and a multi-layer public space is formed on the top of these boxes.
The large canopy defines the gray space between two functions. The coastal axis creates a covered swimming pool on the top of the banquet hall as well as a stage facing the ocean. Architects attempt to show a fantastic space effect: the glass on the top surface, aluminum panel and ceiling grids work together to create an overlapping pattern and bring gentle light indoors. The pattern and grids spark the imagination of ocean waves and cells and present a unique Minnan (southern Fujian) style. Considering strong ocean winds in Xiamen, we make special structure design and shape optimization for the large canopy and reduce some covering modules to better resist wind loads.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - The St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club is transforming and building back.
“We have completely demolished the entire club building that burned,” said Michael Wynn, Commodore of the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club. “We have prepared the site to start the rebuilding process.”
The yacht club caught on fire in November 2023. The building was deemed a total loss. Since then the building has been demolished . In the meantime, club members still have a place to go, the sailing center.
“The building was demolished in May of this year,” said Wynn. “Then following that, you have a lot of site prep and clean up.”
The sailing center is across the parking lot from where the yacht club sat, it was expanded and renovated in April.
“We’ve expanded the deck, we’ve expanded the downstairs,” said Wynn. “We’ve put the beach sand in. Having somewhere for our entire yacht club family to come immediately after was one of the most important things we could have done.”
NewsChannel 7 is told work is beginning on rebuilding the yacht club.
“We are proud to be able to unveil some preliminary floor plans and site plans to our membership this month at our all-member meeting,” said Wynn. “We’re excited to unveil it to our members for the first time. The site plan and the initial floor plans for the new building.”
There is no definitive word on when the building will be finished.
“We know that the rebuild process could take somewhere between 12 to 18 months,” said Wynn. “We hope to be open within the next 18 to 24 months,”
The yacht club’s commodore tells News Channel Seven despite the fire they are continuing to bring in new members every month. They are also continuing to expand the amenities.

Latest news.
T he Twin Cities have been starved for an in-city music festival of the scale that the inaugural Minnesota Yacht Club Festival will bring this weekend.
Even smaller festivals and larger regional ones have evaporated . It's been more than decade since the Dave Matthews Band and Tool headlined the River's Edge Music Festival. Rock the Garden is gone . Basilica Block Party is back , but scaled down. Eaux Claires is no more. Ditto to 10,000 Lakes, X-Fest, Soundset, et al. Yacht Club promises to bring back some of that summer concert excitement with headliners like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gwen Stefani, and Alanis Morissette.
Here's everything you need to know if you're rolling out to Harriet Island to catch the mix of '90s bands, current acts, and beloved local (and "local") bands.
Unlike many major festivals, the two stages of Minnesota Yacht Club will not have overlapping sets — much like how the two main stages of Eaux Claires was set up, but without the little shows and jam sessions around it. That means, if you were so inclined, you could see every band on the poster.
Friday's lineup is headlined by Gwen Stefani, who hasn't played all that often in recent years, and Alanis Morissette. The day also features performances from The Black Crowes, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Head and the Heart, Durry, Morgan Wade, Michigander, Gully Boys, and Harbor & Home.
Saturday will feature the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Offspring, Hippo Campus, Gary Clark Jr., The Hold Steady, Soul Asylum, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Wilderado, Nico Vega, and Bugsy.
There are a lot of tiers to sort through on the fest's ticketing page . General admission is the most affordable, but there are also GA+, VIP, Riverboat VIP, and Platinum tickets.
As far as general admission goes, there are two-day passes ($255) and one-day passes for Friday ($135) available. Saturday's one-day passes are sold out, but some can be found on the secondary market.
There is no on-site parking. However, the light rail's Central Station is about a half-mile from the main entrance. There is also a dedicated drop-off and pick-up spot for rideshares.
Yacht Club has also set up a pair of bike parking locations. One is underneath Wabasha Bridge near the main entrance. The other is on Plato Blvd near the West entrance. More details on transportation can be found on the fest's website.
Like heading to a Wild game downtown, they're not letting you bring in bags. Backpacks, purses, and bags are prohibited with the exception of small clutch purses and fanny packs that are 6"x9" or smaller and have no more than one pocket. All other bags have to be clear and 12" x 6" x 12" or smaller. Empty hydration bags are also allowed.
Good question.
While there's no yacht rock on the bill, there are actually boats involved in the fest. "Riverboat VIP" tickets ($825) will have very important spectators lounging in the air conditioning of Padelford Riverboats, including a 60-minute cruise.
The festival is run by C3 Presents (of which, Live Nation has a significant stake). C3 manages festivals like Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, and Governor's Ball, among others, so it's familiar with the festival landscape and tailoring the events to the city where they take place. The company has indicated that it hopes this isn't the first and only Yacht Club.

Today's Paper
Music and concerts, music and concerts | what to know if you’re headed to the minnesota yacht club festival, gwen stefani, alanis morissette and red hot chili peppers are headlining.
Headlined by Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the festival (which despite its name has nothing to do with yacht rock) is promoted by C3 Presents, an Austin, Texas, company that’s also behind Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza. C3 was the largest independent promoter in the world until Live Nation bought a controlling stake in the company in 2014.
Organizers expect to attract more than 30,000 concertgoers each day.
While the Irish Fair of Minnesota calls Harriet Island home each August, music festivals have had a rough go on the site. The original Lollapalooza (back when it was a traveling festival) landed on the site in 1991, 1992 and 1994, but flooding forced the fest to move to the late St. Paul Civic Center in 1993.
Live Nation attempted to establish a new annual event, the River’s Edge Music Festival, in 2012. Despite big-name headliners Tool and the Dave Matthews Band, the festival didn’t attract enough paying customers to convince the concert promoting giant to return for a second year.
Here’s what folks headed to the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival need to know:
As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available at a number of price points, starting at $135 for one day general admission (or $255 for two days) all the way up to platinum tickets for $925 ($1,395 for two days), which include a number of perks including free food and drinks, front-of-stage viewing and access to an air-conditioned lounge. See minnesotayachtclubfestival.com for details.
Many of the general admission and general admission plus tickets are sold out, but there are verified resale tickets available, some at lower prices than face value.
There are two entrances to the festival. The main entrance is at Harriet Island Boulevard and South Wabasha Street, while the west entrance is on West Water Street between Bidwell Street and Plato Boulevard.
There is no on-site parking at the festival, but its website lists numerous downtown St. Paul parking lots that are a 10- to 16-minute walk from the site. Several Metro Transit buses stop a half-mile from Harriet Island. The rideshare drop off is at 49 E. Fillmore Ave. The festival promises “ample bike parking” located near the two entrances.
Feel free to bring: Small clutch purses and fanny packs (6” x 9” or smaller) with no more than one pocket, all other bags must be clear and smaller than 12” x 6” x 12”, empty hydration packs and reusable water bottles, strollers, frisbees, binoculars, blankets, basic cameras (no detachable lenses or other accessories), sunscreen in non-aerosol containers (3.4 ounces or less), personal-sized hand sanitizer and factory sealed Naloxone/Narcan kits.
Pretty much everything you would think, including outside food and beverage, coolers, aerosol containers, umbrellas, chairs, wagons, skateboards, drones, fireworks and illegal substances.
Concertgoers must wear securely fastened wristbands that are available at the box office. Wristbands can be activated online to add an emergency contact and to use for cashless transactions (with a pin number). Wristbands that are damaged, lost or stolen can be replaced by the original purchaser one time only for $20. Patrons can leave and reenter at will up until 7 p.m. each day.
There is a guest services tent that has earplugs and a lost and found. Free hydration stations are located throughout the site. Lockers are available to rent for $25 each day or $48.50 for both.
Doors open at 12:30 p.m. There are two stages, with staggered performances that do not overlap.
Friday’s schedule includes: Harbor and Home (12:45-1:15 p.m.), Gully Boys (1:15-2), Michigander (2-2:45), Morgan Wade (2:45-3:45), Durry (3:45-4:45), Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (4:45-5:45), The Head and the Heart (5:45-6:45), Gwen Stefani (6:45-8), the Black Crowes (8-9) and Alanis Morissette (9-10:30).

The tallest sword represents the victorious king, while the other two signify his defeated challengers.
Upon returning to Stavanger, you'll pass the petroleum museum and embark on a 30-minute walk to Gamle, the historic center filled with perfectly preserved wooden buildings, some dating back to the 18th century.

Billed on its website as the “world’s longest continuously run long-distance freshwater yacht race,” the 100th Bayview Mackinac Race is set to start Saturday.
A record-setting 334 boats have registered for the 100th year of the race, shattering the record of 316 in 1985 and a huge contrast compared with the 200 boats that raced last year, said David Stoyka, spokesman for the Bayview Yacht Club, which puts on the race.
Bayview Yacht Club says boats start leaving the Black River in Port Huron around 8 a.m. on race day and will continue leaving until around noon. From the Black River, they will proceed up the St. Clair River, under the Blue Water Bridge, into Lake Huron.
The first scheduled start time in Lake Huron is 11:30 a.m., with starts every 10 minutes until approximately 1:30 p.m. The starts may be delayed due to weather conditions.
This year, for the 100th running, the race will follow the original 1925 route and span 204 nautical miles. From the starting point, the boats will head north along the Michigan shoreline, passing south of Bois Blanc Island, sailing west to east at the finish line between Round Island and Mackinac Island, organizers said.
The range of boats are expected to finish in between 30 and 60 hours.
Teams at all skill levels have entered the race, which draws competitors from around the world. The highly skilled racers know they will cross the bow of competitors within inches. Still, there's always risk of a crash with the slightest miscalculation.
"Everybody recognizes this is super intense," said champion sailor Tim Prophit , 65, of St. Clair Shores, past commodore of Bayview Yacht Club and owner of Fast Tango, a North American 40 sailboat.
The teams are vying for trophies and flags to show their accomplishments.
The J.L. Hudson Trophy is awarded to the boat with the best corrected time in Division I, and the Canadian Club Classic Trophy is awarded to the boat with the best corrected time in Division II.
Spectators can go to bycmack.com during the race and click on “RaceTracking” link to watch real-time GPS positioning of all the race boats, or, on your mobile device, download the free app YB Races and select the current race.
Boats will start arriving at Mackinac Island on Sunday afternoon and continue until Monday evening, all dependent upon the wind.
Finishes can be seen from Windermere Point on Mackinac Island at the south end of Main Street.
Sailors who have completed 25 Bayview Mackinac races are called “Old Goats,” according to the club, while those who have completed 50 are called “Grand Rams.”
"Double Goats" are sailors who have completed 25 Bayview Mackinac races and 25 Chicago Yacht Club race to Mackinac races. This year’s Chicago to Mackinac race encountered strong winds in Lake Michigan , snapping some boats’ masts and tossing one sailor overboard. No one was hurt.
Volunteers who have served for 15 years on the Race Committee are honored with the title “Old Forts,” as designated by the Race Committee.
