Our Mission
The Yacht Club's mission is to promote safe sailing
and power boating, to provide social activities for it's members and to enhance
the local community by actively sponsoring, hosting
and participating in community events and projects.
Yacht Club Profile
The London Bridge Yacht Club is a non-profit
organization established under the laws of the State of Arizona,
consisting of approximately 70 memberships and 130 members. A separate
non-profit, 501(c)(3), corporation also exists to enhance our ability to
support various local charities and organizations.
The Club is a member of the Southern California
Yachting Association (SCYA) and U S Sailing and maintains an active year-round
program of sailing and power boating events.
Management of the Club is the responsibility
of an elected Board of Directors, which consists of seven (7) Flag Officers and
three (3) Directors. For further information click on the
"Officers" link.
A long-term goal of the Yacht Club is to
acquire a facility on the shoreline of Lake Havasu. The Club currently
maintains a clubhouse aboard a uniquely modified houseboat, pictured at
the top of this page, and which is docked at the end of Pier "P"
in the
Lake Havasu Marina.
The women of the Club are organized into a
women's auxiliary known as the Knottie Girls.
The Club acts as coordinator and manager for the
London Bridge Days Parade and the Boat Parade of Lights, both annual events in
Lake Havasu City. The London Bridge Days Parade occurs the last weekend in
October. The Boat Parade of Lights is a two night event consisting of a Friday Parade
Dress Rehearsal followed by the full parade on Saturday. It usually occurs on the first weekend in
December. Our traditional "Opening Day" for the boating season is
combined with a gala boat parade through Bridgewater Channel. The "Activities" and
"Community" links within our website provide a glimpse into our
Club and additional details about our various events.
Our Namesake
The London Bridge Yacht Club is named after
the world-famous bridge of the same name, which is now located in Lake
Havasu City, Arizona. This bridge had spanned the Thames River in London
from 1831 until 1962, when the English Parliament decided to replace it.
Robert P. McCulloch, a local businessman and early architect of our city,
purchased the bridge, had it disassembled and shipped to Arizona, and
rebuilt it where it now stands. The completed London Bridge was dedicated
October 10, 1971, and we are proud to share in it's famous name and
history.
