History

The Center is located on Lake Quassapaug on West Lake Road in Middlebury, CT. Our building was built in 1927 by the Whittemore family of Middlebury as summer retreat for indigent children from Waterbury. In 1945, it became the Quassapaug Yacht Club and the host of Snipe Fleet 231. It was also used by the Waterbury Boys and Girls Club for a summer camp. In 2003, the newly formed Quassapaug Sailing Center purchased the property to provide sailing instruction and encourage and promote sailboat racing and good sportsmanship between persons actively interested in sailing and water activities.
