History
Founded on the 23 June 1964, the club was recognized by the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV) only three years later, in October 1967. The club in May 1965 got permission from the local government of Nago-Torbole to develop the club on an area adjacent to the Adige-Garda tunnel were the club is still based partly on reclaimed land.{{Cite web|url=http://www.circolovelatorbole.com/il-club/storia/|title=Storia|date=22 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130422034550/http://www.circolovelatorbole.com/il-club/storia/ |accessdate=22 September 2023|archive-date=22 April 2013 }}
