Brickyard Cove

The bricks produced here helped rebuild and expand the growing metropolis, providing the foundations for many iconic buildings and paving the way for future developments.

At the time, the Yacht Club was located on Cutting Boulevard in Richmond, near Canal Street, operating on a month-to-month rental lease with the Santa Fe Railroad Company.

Through research into available waterfront properties, Clausen identified a site near a brickyard on the south shoreline of Richmond, owned by the Macdonald-Henshaw group.

In December 1961, Clausen and fellow member Herb Thode made an offer to purchase 14 acres near the Garrard Boulevard entrance.

It continues to be a hub for boating enthusiasts and a vibrant residential community, reflecting the vision and efforts of Bert and Muriel Clausen to transform the waterfront into a thriving space.

Offering over 250 berths for boats of various sizes, the marina has top-notch facilities, including maintenance docks, a fuel station, and a boater’s lounge.
