The Portage Lakes Yacht Club was founded March 29, 1936. First boats at the club were 16 foot scows. In 1938 the first home built Snipe arrived at PLYC and in 1939 the Snipe Fleet number 110 was formed. PLYC member Carl Zimmerman was a Past Commodore of the Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA), and W.

In 1940, an Interlake was brought to the club and soon a few members of the Snipe Fleet decided to order Interlakes, forming Fleet number 6 of the Interlake Sailing Class Association. [5]
Team racing, also known as team sailing, is a popular form of dinghy racing and yacht racing. Two teams compete in a race, each sailing two to four boats of the same class. The winning team is decided by combining the results of each team's boats. This differs from an inter-club fleet race where boats from three or more clubs compete, with the results of each club's boats combined to determine its overall position.
Boat racing is a sport in which boats, or other types of watercraft, race on water. Boat racing powered by oars is recorded as having occurred in ancient Egypt, and it is likely that people have engaged in races involving boats and other water-borne craft for as long as such watercraft have existed.
