Mission Statement:
The mission of the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club is to foster a spirit of excellence in boating activities in our membership and the community.
History of the Club:
In the Fall/Winter of 2001/2002, a number of boating residents of Stonington began discussing the possibility of forming a new yacht club. After sending questionnaires to individuals with boats in Stonington Harbor, it was determined that sufficient interest existed to pursue the formation of a club. The result was the incorporation of the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club, Inc in May 2002. After an open admissions period of six weeks, the club had attracted 174 Founding Members. This number grew to almost 300 by the end of 2003.
The Club's Certificate of Incorporation states in part that: "...the purpose of the Corporation is to: encourage and support the sport of yachting, the art of yacht design and building, the science of seamanship and navigation; and to help maintain the quality of the waters on which we boat."
