Pewaukee Yacht Club, founded in 1896, has a long history of involvement in the sport of scow sailing. Throughout the 100+ years there has been a fantastic spirit of competition and volunteerism that makes our club one of the best in the country. Please take time to read over the highlights of PYC’s history that will appear here and contact the club if you have something to contribute.
The primary goal of the Pewaukee Yacht Club (PYC) is to promote the sport of sailing, and more specifically, the racing of scows. This involves hosting seasonal races and regattas for six classes of scows and two junior (non-scow) classes. An intense schedule of races is maintained throughout the summer months. The PYC is very proud of our large and competitive fleets and considers ourselves one of the strongest scow sailing programs in the country.
The Pewaukee Yacht Club is a volunteer based organization beginning with its Board of Directors who are elected by the membership and oversee the operations of the Club. A facility manager is hired by the Board to handle the daily operations. The Club is open from early May into October. Racing is accompanied by several social events to support the camaraderie and friendships of past, present, and future sailing families.
