The Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee (VSaW) (meaning: "Sailing house by the Wann Lake Union") is the second oldest yacht club in Germany after Segelclub RHE. It is located on the shores of the Greater Wannsee lake, southwest of Berlin.
The club was established in October 1867 on a small wooden shack by river Havel with fourteen members and eight boats. In 1877 it moved to its present location at the edge of the Wannsee lake. The first club house was built in 1881.
Soon this yacht club acquired prestige and even German Crown Prince William sailed his yacht on the lake. A larger, roomier club house in Tudor style was built in 1910. This building is now a protected monument.
