Iate Clube São Lourenço sits on the right bank of the Arroio São Lourenço, at its mouth on the Lagoa dos Patos, in São Lourenço do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul.

With more than 65 years of history, the club has been a central venue for sailing events in the state and played a direct role in shaping the sport's development in the region.

The club's deep sailing tradition is rooted in the history of São Lourenço do Sul itself, which was once the most important commercial sailing port in Rio Grande do Sul.

Merchant vessels loaded with rice, firewood, charcoal, onions, and beans once worked these waters, navigating the Lagoa dos Patos and Lagoa Mirim.

The town also built a reputation for constructing sturdy boats suited to sailing on the Lagoa dos Patos, a heritage that continues to inform the club's identity today.
