The Club de Voile Lausanne, formerly the Cercle de la Voile de Lausanne, has sailed on Lake Geneva since 1919 from its first-floor clubhouse with a terrace over Ouchy harbour on the Chemin des Pêcheurs. Open to cruising and racing sailors alike, it offers a workshop and sail loft, runs internal and qualifying regattas off Vidy and Ouchy together with the Cercle de la Voile de Vidy under Swiss Sailing rules, and fields a Performance section at national and international level. Youth sailing camps run in summer.
