History

The building was built in 1927 by the Whittemore family, of Middlebury, originally as summer retreat for children from Waterbury. In 1945, it became the new location for the Lake Quassapaug Yacht Club as well as being used by the Waterbury Boys and Girls Club for a summer camp. The Yacht Club remained in the location until 2003. At that time, the newly formed Quassapaug Sailing Center, Inc. purchased the property.

Fleets

Quassapaug Sailing Center has fleets of 420, Optimist and Snipe.[3]
