Cruising
The primary mission of Stonington Cruising Club
is to plan, organize and facilitate a
comprehensive cruising program for its
members. This is intended to be a
well-thought-out, safe and enjoyable experience
for members who enjoy sailing to harbors on the
East Coast from Maine to Chesapeake Bay.     
Cruises to Maine are three or four weeks in
duration and are conducted on alternate years.
During non-Maine years, cruises to the islands
along the New England coast or to Chesapeake
Bay are arranged.  Weekend cruises to local
harbors in Narragansett Bay, Buzzards Bay, the
forks of Long Island and other destinations
within a day or two of Stonington often are
arranged during the boating season.

SCC Cruise Destinations
A start has been made to archive a series of  SCC
Harbor Fact Sheets, initially making use of Ken
Packie's excellent 2007 Annual Cruise
Handbook.  A number of Fact Sheets have been
scanned and converted to pdf files, and are
available via the link below for reading, or
printing to take with you.  The initial batch of
Fact Sheets covers a number of the destinations
to be visited on the early August "not-so-distant"
cruise to the Elizabeth Islands and beyond, and
includes Quisset, Martha's Vineyard, Cuttyhunk
and Newport.
Volunteers to research and prepare additional
Fact Sheets would be very much appreciated! -
contact booth.delphinus@gmail.com to
volunteer.
