The Yacht Club de Monaco was founded in 1953 by Prince Rainier III; the SBM first housed it in a former pottery workshop, with its trophies on show at the Hôtel de Paris, and in 1966 it moved to the Quai Antoine-Ier. Prince Albert has presided over it since April 1984, launching Monaco Classic Week in 1994 and acquiring the classic yacht Tuiga, the club's flagship, in 1995. Its present clubhouse on Quai Louis-II, designed by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, opened in 2014.
