Founded in 1953, The Blue
Gavel, officially known as the 'International Order of the Blue Gavel (IOBG), is yachting's most exclusive fraternity, being made up of only Past
Commodores of recognized Yacht Clubs.
The purpose of the Blue Gavel is to provide Past
Commodores with more extensive opportunity for worthwhile advancement of
yachting activities for the good of yacht clubs and yachting organizations
nationally and internationally. They encourage and promote the continuing
interest and service of qualified and proven Past Commodores to their own
yacht club and its activities without in any way usurping the authorities
and responsibilities of the incumbent Officers.

Florida District 8, which was created in 1970, and is made up of 42
yachting chapters in the entire state of Florida and Mobile Bay, Alabama.
