About THE LAKE ARROWHEAD YACHT CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN 1932

The Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club is nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains and has been in continuous operation since 1932. Lake Arrowhead is a mere 90 miles from downtown Los Angeles but feels a world apart.

JOINING LAYC

The Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club is a private club. Membership in our club is by nomination only. If you are seeking membership, please reach out to a current member(s) to begin the process. Those nominated must have known their sponsor for a reasonable amount of time and have a genuine interest in sailing and other associated activities of the club, rather than just the passive use of the facilities.

LAYC also offers a Junior Associate sailing membership for those persons 10-20 years old who have a strong interest in the art of sailing. This class of membership allows young people the opportunity to participate in our club’s instructional sailing classes and race program. Please contact [email protected] for additional information.

Our members have been sailing on Lake Arrowhead since 1932. Our season begins the weekend prior to Memorial Day and is completed the weekend after Labor Day. During this time we race every Saturday and Sunday.  After the season  we store all of our sailboats in the clubhouse and begin preparations for the following year.

During the season our clubhouse is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and our members enjoy our bar, snack bar, patio dining and dining room service. We also have a number of themed parties and a Thursday night Fine Dining experience during the season.

The Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club was organized as a nonprofit corporation on October 3, 1932, by visionary men with a common interest in yachting at Lake Arrowhead. Their desire was to provide a venue for competition and sportsmanship, and for members to participate in regional, national and international yachting events.

Our focus is on sailing and many of our members have achieved success on the national and international sailing stage.

The mission of the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club is as follows;

“To instill and enhance an interest in yachting and the spirit of sportsmanship amongst its members and their families, and to that end, to provide programs to promote and support yacht racing in the Corinthian spirit. We are dedicated to providing an active yacht racing program for members of all ages that enhances the reputation of our Club as a center of racing at Lake Arrowhead and in the greater yachting community. We will also provide an active and enjoyable family environment in which members of all ages can participate with pride and enthusiasm.”

We thank you for your interest in the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club. Should you have any further questions please contact [email protected]

Unclear future for California Yacht Club

Published on April 20th, 2022 by Editor -->

As North America’s largest man-made small-craft harbor, Marina del Rey sits roughly six miles north of Los Angeles International Airport, offering a desirable coastal community with waterfront views, aquatic sports, and award-winning restaurants.

The harbor is also home to several yachting hubs, with California Yacht Club as the prominent racing host.

The club held the 2021 J/70 World Championship and 2022 ILCA Midwinters and will soon be welcoming the 2022 U.S. Junior Women’s Singlehanded and Doublehanded Championship. Each summer it hosts the harbor’s Wednesday keelboat series.

But unique in the scope of clubs, California Yacht Club is a for-profit business, and after the Hathaway family provided at least four generations of stable ownership, this cornerstone of yachting is a rocking boat.

The club was sold in late 2021 as part of a $1.7 billion deal which included self-storage firm LAACO and the downtown Los Angeles Athletic Club. While the downtown club has since been sold, the yacht club is getting shopped as well, and among the shoppers is billionaire Los Angeles developer and mayoral candidate Rick Caruso.

The yacht club’s lease, which carried a minimum annual rent last year of nearly $1.1 million, is set to expire July 31, potentially unmooring it from the property where it operates if it cannot obtain an extension.

Caruso’s development organization has been in talks with Los Angeles County officials to secure the soon-to-expire lease, and as he already holds parcels on either side of the club, the highly coveted corner of the harbor could be the site of another one of his mega-projects.

While the developer, whose net worth is estimated at $4.3 billion by Forbes, isn’t revealing his intentions, he does do boating with his 100 million 65m yacht Invictus.

The California Yacht Club was founded in 1922 and moved to its present site in 1967, offering one of the finest boat anchorages along with elite services for junior and adult membership.

Two Southern California yacht clubs recognized on Top 50 list

Platinum Clubs organization names Newport Harbor YC and San Diego YC to worldwide compilation.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Newport Harbor and San Diego yacht clubs both earned a spot on the Top 50 Platinum Yacht Clubs for 2020-2021, it was recently announced. The worldwide list is compiled by Platinum Clubs of the World.

Placing on the list means a yacht club is presented with the title of “Five Star Clubs of Excellence.”

San Diego YC was founded in 1886 and has recently hosted sailing events such as Women’s Winter Invitational, Yachting Cup, the CA500, the SoCal 300, Dutch Shoe Marathon, International Masters Regatta and Lipton Cup.

Newport Harbor YC first opened its doors in 1916 and hosts the Newport to Cabo Race every two years, among other regattas.

Other yacht clubs making the Top 50 list included: Annapolis Yacht Club, Beach Point Club, Chicago Yacht Club, Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Nassau Yacht Club (Bahamas), Raffles Marina (Singapore), Real Club Nautico de Vigo (Spain), Royal Bombay Yacht Club (India), Royal Cork Yacht Club (Ireland), The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (Australia), Société des Régates du Havre (France), Yacht Club de Monaco and Yacht Club Santo Amaro (Brazil).

Two Southern California yacht clubs earned an Honorable Mention, scoring within three points of the Top 50 list: Balboa Yacht Club (Newport Beach) and California Yacht Club (Marina del Rey).

Fifty yacht clubs are selected based upon points awarded by a selected panel. A yacht club must score at least 8 points to qualify for the Top 50 list. Scoring is awarded as follows: 100 points for a top three club, 80 points for a ranking between four and 10, 60 points for 11 to 25 ranking, 40 points for 26-60 ranking, 20 points for 51-75 ranking and 10 points for 76-100 ranking.

Voting was conducted by 116 panelists from all around the world; panelists hailed from the United States, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates. Panelists vote every two years (odd years). Finalists are selected based upon submitted recommendations from panelists and applications from yacht clubs from around the world. A final ballot is eventually created and sent out to panelists. There is a 30-day voting period, with the election conducted electronically (via a third party).

“Points are awarded by the position and ranking that the panelist assigns to each club. The total number of points is calculated and divided by the total number of panelists who have visited a club to determine the final points score,” a Platinum Clubs of the World statement about the voting process said.

The Club Leaders Forum Advisory Board of the Platinum Clubs of the World compiled the Top 50 list. Platinum Clubs of America have been recognizing top yacht clubs for more than 20 years.
