You do not need to be a member of Pequot Yacht Club to sail with TeamPequot. You are welcome to bring your own boat or charter a boat from Pequot (Optimist, Skiff, Feva or 420). If looking to charter an ILCA (formerly Laser), there are a number of available options in the area to charter from, including The Boat Locker in Bridgeport.
Here's how the program works:
Registration runs through the beginning of the second session of the program (July 18, 2022).
*Registration Fee is Non Refundable after April 1st*
*Charter cancellation fee applies after confirmation of charter*
*Program/Charter fees are Non Refundable once program begins*
During the registration flow, you must execute the Junior Sailing Association Waiver; you will be redirected to the JSA-LIS site to create an account with JSA and to electronically sign the Waiver, which covers both Pequot and JSA participation.
You do not have to be a Pequot Yacht Club member to enroll, but you will need a club sponsor. If you don't have a club sponsor, please indicate so when prompted during the registration process. Participation by non-members is not guaranteed, but every effort is made to accommodate any child who has an interest in the program
A non-member grandchild may be automatically sponsored by a member grandparent.
Registration is first-come, first served. A wait list will be established when class size caps are met.
**All sailors must provide their own USCG approved PFD**
**420 Crew must provide their own well fitted, quick release harness**
In addition to the registration fee, you will be charged a Program Fee according to the table below. You will be billed in March - June. The Program Fee must be paid in full prior to partipating in the program. You may supply your own boat or charter from PYC. See fee details below.
