Port Madison Yacht Club The Port Madison Yacht Club was founded in 1956 to encourage amateur sailing, racing and cruising and to provide a clubhouse, racing and mooring facilities for its members. The clubhouse is located on the east bank of Port Madison. Should you wish to apply for membership, a form can be downloaded from their Website. To demonstrate the clubs' sense of humor and unpretentious membership, the following was excerpted from The History section of their Website: One of the original members has been quoted as saying that "no one shall be denied membership or expelled so long as the vessel in which he has ownership can float for 15 consecutive minutes in either fresh or salt water and does not exceed a maximum length of 220 feet nor a minimum of four feet in length overall at the waterline." Sounds like a fun group!
