Deutsch-Britischer Yacht Club

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard — Willkommen an Bord, deutsch oder englisch, der DBYC ist ein bi-nationaler Segelverein, hervorgegangen aus dem früheren Alliierten-Club „Berlin-British Yacht Club“ (BBYC). Oberstes Ziel ist, den Segelsport sowie die freundschaftlichen Kontakte zu englischsprachigen Seglern oder am Segelsport Interessierten in und außerhalb von Berlin zu fördern. Die Mitglieder des DBYC sind Deutsche, Briten, Amerikaner oder gehören weiteren Nationen an.

Hier ist vieles möglich: Segeln oder Sonnenbaden, sportliches oder entspanntes Freizeitsegeln sowie Regattasport, etwa die jährliche „Tripartite-Regatta“ mit den anderen ehemaligen Alliierten-Clubs, den Franzosen und den Amerikanern. Und besonders wichtig, die Jugendarbeit läuft unter dem Motto „Kleiner Verein ganz groß für kleine Leute“.

Die traditionelle Gastfreundschaft wird auch vom DBYC fortgesetzt. Die Berliner Wassersportlerinnen und Wassersportler sind ebenso wie die „Landratten“ jederzeit herzlich willkommen, um den schönsten Ausblick und die deutsch-britische Gastronomie auf dem Clubgelände für eine ausgedehnte Pause zu genießen.

Last but not least ist der DBYC ein wenig stolz darauf, ein Stück Berliner bzw. Westberliner Geschichte zu verkörpern und besonders an die schweren Jahre der Blockade zu erinnern. Von diesem Gelände aus haben die Westalliierten unzählige lebenswichtige Transporte in die Stadt verladen. Die Erinnerung an diese Leistungen wollen wir aufrechterhalten, sie sind wesentlich für die Kontinuität und Zukunft des „Deutsch Britischen Yacht Clubs“.

On the Havel River.

Now known as German-British Yacht Club, Kladower Damm 217 H, 14089 Berlin.

“ The DBYC’s chequered history is closely linked to the history of allied West Berlin. The club started life in 1947 – just two years after the defeat of Nazi Germany and some fifteen years before the construction of the Berlin Wall, with the founding of the United Forces Sailing Club and the United Services Yacht Club on the club’s present site. During the 1948 Soviet blockade of West Berlin, when for eleven months the entire western sector of the city was sustained almost wholly by an Allied military air lift, the present DBYC club site played a pivotal role.  It served as a fuelling point for Royal Air Force to supply Berlin with fuel. Sunderland flying boats — delivering among other items, coal, salt and baking powder from Hamburg — landed just in front of the present club site on the Havel river.

1952 saw the founding of the Berlin British Yacht Club which catered almost exclusively to British military personnel and their families.  It was not until 1970 that German citizens were permitted to join the club.

The club premises, then a corrugated iron hut, are demolished to make way for a new clubhouse  – since modified but still standing. ...” Source : Anglo-German Yacht Club.

Rebuilding Paradise: The Bitter End Yacht Club’s Inspiring Comeback

By: Shannon Sinnard Destinations

Nestled at the northeastern tip of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, the Bitter End Yacht Club has long been a premier maritime destination for sailors. For years, this iconic resort has drawn seafarers from around the globe, offering a serene escape amidst the sparkling waters of the Caribbean.

While the term “bitter end” often refers to the final part of a rope or chain, the phrase can also signify reaching the farthest point or the end destination of a long or difficult journey. The founders of the Bitter End Yacht Club chose this name to reflect both its geographical location and the spirit of adventure and perseverance inherent to sailors. For those who navigate to this end-of-the-line point, the BEYC stands as a haven where their journey culminates in beauty and tranquility. And, for many, it has long stood as a cherished traditional stop when exploring the waters of the BVI.

A Legendary Past, a Devastating Blow

In more recent years, the Bitter End’s name has embodied not only a physical destination but also a symbolic one. The iconic BEYC experienced a devastating blow in September 2017 when Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in history, wreaked havoc on the Caribbean, leaving the Bitter End Yacht Club in ruins. The devastation was profound, with buildings flattened, boats destroyed, and the once-thriving resort reduced to rubble.

While many Bitter End enthusiasts were devastated to hear of the destruction Hurricane Irma left in her wake, the iconic Bitter End Yacht Club kept its loyal fans updated via its website , detailing both the damage and community efforts to rebuild this beloved BVI institution.

Rising from the Ashes

Having now been rebuilt and risen from the devastation of Hurricane Irma, the Bitter End’s name resonates even more with the idea of enduring and overcoming challenges – much like the sailors who venture to the farthest reaches to get there.

After the storm, the Bitter End Yacht Club faced a long and arduous journey to recovery. But the spirit of resilience and determination among its community never wavered. Fast forward to today, and the Bitter End Yacht Club has not only been rebuilt but has been reimagined, standing as a testament to the power of recovery and the adventurous spirit that made it famous.

A New Era for the Bitter End Yacht Club

The reopening of the Bitter End Yacht Club marks a new chapter in its storied history. The rebuilt resort seamlessly blends the charm and character of its past with modern amenities and environmentally friendly practices. Here’s a glimpse of what visitors can now expect:

State-of-the-Art Marina

The heart of the Bitter End experience, the marina, has been meticulously restored and upgraded, offering deep-water slips that can accommodate yachts up to 200 feet, along with enhanced dockside services. Sailors can enjoy top-notch amenities including electrical hook-ups, fuel, ice, showers, rubbish disposal, and laundry facilities. Additionally, guests have access to the resort’s swimming pool. The BEYC also boasts one of the best deep-water anchorages in the Caribbean, providing many of the same amenities as the docking facilities.

Culinary Delights

Dining at the Bitter End is an experience in itself. The resort’s restaurants feature locally sourced ingredients, celebrating Caribbean flavors with a gourmet twist. Whether it’s a casual beachside meal or an elegant dinner under the stars, the culinary offerings are sure to delight every palate.

Adventure and Exploration

For those with a thirst for adventure, the resort offers a wide range of water sports, including sailing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, and snorkeling. Guests can explore the vibrant coral reefs, embark on a deep-sea fishing expedition, or simply enjoy a leisurely paddle around the bay.

Environmental Stewardship

The Bitter End Yacht Club has embraced sustainability as a core principle in its rebuilding efforts. The resort utilizes renewable energy sources, practices water conservation, and is committed to preserving the natural beauty of the BVI. Initiatives such as coral reef restoration and marine conservation programs are integral to its operations, ensuring that the Bitter End remains a pristine paradise for future generations.

A Bright Future

From its storied past to its recent resurgence, the Bitter End Yacht Club is more than just a return to business; it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and the indomitable spirit of the BVI. As it welcomes back old friends and new, the Bitter End promises to once again be the ultimate retreat for those who seek the thrill of the open sea and the tranquility of an island paradise in one of the most breathtaking locations on earth.

Hutsby goes from working in a pro shop to a dream start in British Open

TROON – Just hearing his name announced on the first tee of the British Open, with the claret jug on display, would have been enough for Sam Hutsby to feel he was living a dream.

Imagine standing on the tee at the eighth hole Thursday at Royal Troon tied for the lead.

Recommended Videos

It was early.

“I kind of had to pinch myself a little bit on that tee,” Hutsby said. “I thought, ‘Wow, this is a little bit surreal.’”

Far more real was a tee shot into the bunker, two shots to get out and a double bogey. That 3-under start turned into a 3-over 74, but with few complaints.

Hutsby made it to his first British Open — his first major — through final qualifying earlier this month. And even that was something he didn’t imagine when he decided to give up his pursuit of tournament golf to teach.

“I wanted to coach and try to give back. I really enjoyed it, to be honest,” Hutsby said. “It was great to help people. I actually learned quite a lot from it myself. I looked at the game a slightly different way.

“I was still trying to play competitively, and I was having some nice scores locally, and that made me realize, ‘OK, maybe I could give it another go.’”

He made it through Q-school at the end of 2022, had a full season on the European tour and now is trying to make his way back through the Challenge Tour.

But nothing could have prepared him for a major, for the crowds and the energy.

“I got up here quite early, traveled up here Friday, so I was here for the weekend. Every day that went by, I could feel the butterflies kind of going,” Hutsby said. “I’ve not really been settled all week, to be honest. I was actually amazed how calm I felt on the back nine today but didn’t really score well. So it was a bit of a mixed emotions.

“It was nice to know that I can feel that uncomfortable and still kind of hit some good shots and play some good golf.”

A different league

Xander Schauffele is finally a major champion after his one-shot win at the PGA Championship, and he received some belated congratulations from Tiger Woods. They are in the same group for the opening two rounds at Royal Troon.

“He asked me how it felt on the putting green,” Schauffele said. “Then I asked him how it felt to have 100 of them.”

Woods has 15 majors, the last one at the 2019 Masters when Schauffele was a runner-up.

“We had a nice chuckle before the round,” he said. “It puts it into perspective when you look at someone that's done what he’s done, only having one.”

Not so happy return

Henrik Stenson wasn’t expecting another 63 like the last time he was at Royal Troon and won the British Open with a record score.

He wasn’t expecting a triple bogey on the par-3 eighth hole, either.

Stenson played the famed “Postage Stamp” in even par over four rounds when he won in 2016. But the wind confused him Thursday, and the Swede found himself between a soft pitching wedge or a gap wedge.

“Decided on the little, chippy wedge and let it go a little bit right, landed by the pin and ended up in a bunker, downhill lie,” he said.

And that’s when the trouble started.

The first attempt not only failed to get out of the bunker, it rolled into what he described as a “bad rake job.” He couldn’t get the next one out and it rolled under the lip. He had to play sideways, and got up-and-down for a 6.

“It’s always a dangerous place to be,” Stenson said. “Yeah, unfortunately, it cost two more than you’d hope.”

He opened with a 76.

Rough start

Of the dozen players who shot 80 or higher in the first round, five of them were past British Open champions. One of them stood out.

John Daly, Justin Leonard, Ernie Els and Todd Hamilton are all in their 50s and all but Hamilton are on the PGA Tour Champions. Els won his first senior major last week at Firestone.

But Cameron Smith? He just won the Open two years ago at St. Andrews. It was only his third time with an 80 or higher in a major, and his first since an 82 in the second round of the 2017 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.

“Just a bad day, really,” Smith said. “If you had have told me yesterday that I was going to shoot that, I wouldn’t have said that was possible. But yeah, just a bit of a crappy start and didn’t really manage to hole any putts when I needed to to get back in it.”

Robson tribute

The British Open began with a tribute to Ivor Robson, the longtime starter at the Open and the European tour who died last October.

The gallery in the grandstand at 6:30 a.m. offered warm applause, and thus began the long day of announcing 158 players in the field.

“He was popular and well respected among all golfers who played in The Open,” Martin Slumbers, the R&A's chief executive, said on the eve of the championship.

Robson served in his role for 41 years. The R&A estimates he has announced the names of 44 past, present or future Open champions. The BBC claims he announced the names of 18,995 players during his tenure.

American International Yacht Club Berlin e.V.

Over 50 Years of Sailing on the Wannsee Lake

The roots of the American International Yacht Club Berlin (AIYCB) can be traced back to the arrival of the United States Constabulary Forces in Germany in the Fall of 1945. Sailing on the beautiful Wannsee Lake soon became a popular form of recreation for soldiers stationed in Berlin. Although exact dates are unknown, sometime in the Spring of 1946, with the acquisition of a few sailboats, the U.S. Army established a recreation facility for its soldiers on the Wannsee Lake. The first known location of the U.S. Army recreation facility is the current home of the Potsdamer Yacht Club, located on the southern shore of the Wannsee. This facility was initially used as a recuperation center for injured American soldiers and then later used as the U.S. Army recreation center. This property was returned to Germany in 1949 when the U.S. Army established a major recreation center for the American Military Community in Berlin. This facility was located on the eastern shore of the Wannsee at Am Sandwerder 17-19. Since its establishment, the facility has been known by several names: „Wannsee Yacht Club“, „Wannsee Harbor“, and „Wannsee Recreation Center“ as it was last officially known. Sailing, boating, swimming, and fishing were all available at this facility as well as hotel and restaurant facilities for soldiers. In the 1950s and 1960s American soldiers stationed in West Germany were often sent to the Wannsee Recreation Center for R&R, (rest and recuperation). In the 1960s the US Army adopted a program which allowed private associations to be organized as part of its military recreation program. Thus, at some point in the 1960s, a few American Wannsee sailors founded the American Yacht Club Berlin (AYCB) as a private club under the sponsorship of the Berlin Command. AYCB soon became an integral element of the Wannsee Recreation Center assuming responsibility for Red Cross sailing instruction, organizing regattas, and promoting sportsmanship with Allied (British and French) as well as German sailing clubs.

In 1986 the Wannsee Recreation Center underwent major renovations to all of its facilities and grounds. The existing small dock was expanded to a full harbor in order to accommodate additional motor, paddle and sail boats. Additionally, the luxurious Wannsee villa was fully renovated and utilized as a transit hotel. In 1992, as the Allied Forces were preparing to leave Berlin as a result of Germany’s reunification, a small number of AYCB sailors grasped the initiative and founded the American International Yacht Club Berlin (AIYCB) as a sports club registered under German Law. AIYCB as an officially recognized sport organization, leased the Wannsee harbor facilities and part of the grounds. AIYCB also purchased several boats and various equipment from the departing American Forces. Currently, AIYCB has ca. 140 primary members of various nationalities, including family members, with a total of about 220 people in the club. AIYCB now shares these beautiful and historic grounds at Am Sandwerder 17-19 with the American Academy which currently utilizes the Wannsee villa; now known as the Hans Arnold Center.  

Sailing at the AIYCB

Club boats occupy slips adjacent to private boats in the protected harbor, creating a colorful idyllic sailing setting. Bathed in the warm light of the evening sun, this is among the most beautiful settings on the Wannsee. As many club members do not own boats, the friendly practice of taking others on board as crew members is a frequent occurrence. During the sailing season, a large number of regattas take place and many members also sail in regattas sponsored by other clubs. Traditional and close contact is still maintained with the British and French yacht clubs. Children and youth sailing programs are actively encouraged. The Youth Sailing Program has become a major and successful initiative of AIYCB. In addition to learning sailing skills and good sportsmanship, our youth get to enjoy the camaraderie various nationalities.

Social events such as celebrating the 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, „Nikolaus“ and Weihnachten “ contribute toward maintaining the American flair while integrating festivities of other cultures. Monthly membership meetings are held offering a veritable garden of culinary delights through our “ pot- luck “ meals. A spring and fall grounds clean-up bring all members together in a working setting which solidifies club cohesiveness. Collective projects range from the small to the large including the recent renovation of our 70 year old wooden „Schärenkreuzer“ sailboat by some 30 club members. Children and adults alike find a friendly atmosphere at AIYCB e.V.
