We’ve got skippers looking for crew! We’ve got crew looking for a boat to sail! We’ve got people who like to get together for good times both on and off the water!
Based in Norwalk, CT, Singles Under Sail (SUS) is an active group of people who love the water. “Our members have experience that ranges from novice to licensed captains,” said Ronnie Ross, SUS Public Relations officer. “Some have been in the club for many years; others are ‘brand new.’ What they have in common is their desire to sail, to meet new friends, and to be actively involved in learning and participating…and having fun!”
“During boating season, our activities involve twilight (after work) sails, daysails, weekend overnight sails, and an annual cruise which takes us to beautiful and interesting ports which have ranged from New York Harbor to Martha’s Vineyard and beyond.”
In addition to sailing, our events calendar keeps us connected throughout the year. We have regular educational meetings in the off-season with great speakers and pertinent topics, we have social gatherings (in restaurants, yacht clubs, and on docks, depending on the season), popular ‘after-working-on-boat parties in the spring, and a holiday gathering.”
“This year, Singles Under Sail will host its annual ‘Meet the Skippers’ get-together at the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk on Saturday, April 5 from 2-5 pm. The event is free, and light refreshments will be served. We welcome prospective new members to come and check us out, meet the skippers, see photos of their boats, find out about their home ports, volunteer to help get their boats ready to ‘splash,’ and sign up for sailing!”
