Welcome to Pelican Yacht Club
Year-Long Sailing on Beautiful False River Since 1960
We welcome your interest in the Pelican Yacht Club that is now in its 63rd year. We are a small, friendly club that offers significant benefits at a modest cost. With facilities and sailboats at both Madisonville on the Tchefuncte River just 30 minutes upstream from Lake Pontchartrain and Jarreau on False River, varied sailing experiences are possible. Don’t know how to sail? No problem! As a member, we will teach you at no cost.

Sailing the Flying Scot
Any future date….
The Scot was moved from its Jarreau storage to its new, mast-stepped stoarge location at the New Roads Waterfront Park parking lot. In advance of parking the Scot, she will be sailed by Andrew and the son of a potential new member. The trailer hitch is locked with a combination lock using the same combination as for the lock on the shed at Jarreau. A set of sails is located onboard. The Scot is available for use by any member. However, to ensure no conflicts, requests must be submitted to the Commodore in advance (Andrew4help@yahoo.com). After use, the Scot is to be returned to the parking slot where and in the condition it was found.
