The Istanbul Sailing Club was founded on 2 February 1952. It is the oldest and biggest yacht club in Turkey, with more than 3,000 members. The club was appointed as a "society of public interests". Among its founding members was Captain Ruhi Sarialp, who won with his crew a bronze medal in the London Olympics (1948), in the Triple Jump series. More recently, club member Enver Adakan ranked 8th in the Sydney Olympics (2000), in the Finn series.
