History of the Yacht Club Labud has been written for 85 years now. It was founded by the Split's high schoolers who chose ing. Žarko Dešković to be the first club president.

First Olympic competitor from the club's members has been Karlo Baumann who competed in the 1936.Olympic games held in Berlin.
At the same time Labud can boast with the organization of, on this side of Adriatic, now legendary Mrduja regatta that will this September mark its 79th start for more than 320 sailboats from all over Adriatic.
October is reserved for the regatta from Split to Vis and back at the 66th Vis regatta that always attracts the world known skippers and top crews.
As for the Olympic classes, other than Labud's organization of „great“ competitions, it is this club at the Uvala Baluni that is worldwide known for its organization of the Split Olympic Sailing Week a regatta held in March. This regatta, previously named Grand Adriatic award, became mandatory for the Europe's best sailors to attend.
And last but not least- at the helm of Labud is a woman.
