context_page_description: The Yacht Club Uruguayo is situated in the city of Montevideo and it officially represents the International Sailing Federation in Uruguay.
context_section_description: In 1906, a group of young sailors founded the Uruguayan Yacht Club in Montevideo`s bay in order to promote sailing in the region. Years later the club moved to Buceo`s bay and in 1939 the club consolidated its presence with the construction of an eight-story building. Architects Jorge Herrán and Luis Crespi designed the boat-shaped building which, since 1997, has been considered part of Uruguay`s historical legacy.
  Late in the 20th century, the yacht club incorporated branches in Punta del Este and Santiago Vázquez.
  The club`s ensign is Uruguay`s national flag according to a constitutional decree approved on 11 August 1908. The club has an emblem with a sun and an anchor and a burgee with four blue stripes on white and a red anchor at the canton.
