Just three years after it was founded, he was a founding member of the German Sailing Association . In order to avoid the danger of being cut off from the Havel by the bridge construction in Spandau, today's club property on the Scharfen Lanke in Wilhelmstadt was acquired on October 7, 1913 and the club moved from Tegeler-See to the Unterhavel, where it is located new name is still at home today. After a merger with the "Märkisches Yacht-Club" on June 9, 1938, the club name was changed to the name Spandauer Yacht-Club, which is still valid today .

Ten years later, Harm-Hinrich Rotermund received the Schlimbach Prize in 1983 for his circumnavigation of South America through the Magellan Strait .
