Directions to SHYC By Sea From Fishers Island Sound
We are located in the Clearview Complex known as Stonington Commons just inside the breakwater in Stonington Harbor. We are in the large red brick building about a quarter mile North of the flagpole at the southernmost point of the Stonington peninsula. Proceed from G "5" and leave the inner breakwater's daymark, R "8", to starboard, then approach the SHYC docks.
Our docks are located just inside the breakwater that extends out from the South end of the BIG RED BRICK building, in which our clubhouse is located. Just aim for Skipper's Dock Restaurant and take a right as you approach their dock.
SHYC DOCK POLICY
The SHYC waterfront facilities — docks at Stonington Commons and at the Mohegan property (Sailing Center) — are managed jointly by the Yacht Club and Sailing Foundation.
