Hellerup Sailing Club was founded by a group of local sailing enthusiasts on 25 September 1915.

Today Hellerup Sailing Club has approximately 850 members, making it one of the biggest sailing clubs in Denmark. Hellerup Sailing Club boasts a total of 12 Olympic medals, more than any other club in the world.

Most notably, Paul Elvstrøm has won four Olympic medals, beginning in 1948 where he won the gold medal in the Firefly class (and another HS member, Ole Berntsen, won bronze in the Dragon). Paul went on to win three more gold medals in the Finn class, as well as countless international championships in other classes. More recently - in 1988 - Jørgen Bojsen-Møller won gold in Flying Dutchman (FD), and in 1992, Jørgen and Jens Bojsen-Møller again won bronze in the same class. In 2004, Christina Otzen was member of the bronce medal team in the Yngling class.

Hellerup Sailing Club has active sailors of all ages - from 7 upwards.
