Yacht Club Argentino

Yacht Club Argentino is a sports facility located on the Puerto Madero waterfront with a French-designed building featuring an asymmetrical layout and a tower structure. The building houses sailing facilities, training areas, dining rooms, and event spaces for club members.

Founded in 1883, this institution became one of South America's first sailing clubs. The building structure was completed in 1911 and later received national monument status for its architectural importance.

The club houses extensive collections of maritime objects and memorabilia that tell the story of Argentina's sailing traditions from the 1800s onwards. These items are displayed throughout the space and reflect how important sailing has been to the country.

The location is best accessed through the Puerto Madero waterfront area, which is easily reachable by public transportation. The facility operates year-round with regular sailing events and club activities scheduled throughout the season.

French architect Eduardo Le Monnier designed the 1911 structure with an approach that mixed different design styles in ways that differed from what was typical during that era. This unusual combination of stylistic elements makes the building stand out to those who study architecture closely.
