New England District


The New England District is in the Northeast region and encompasses Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Rhode Island.

Our active fleets are in Rockport MA, Duxbury Bay, MA, Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield MA, Cape Cod in Brewster, MA, and Lake Massapoag in Sharon MA, and we have a small fleet in New Hampshire that is trying to make a go of it.

Our District Governor is Skip Montello from Rockport, and the New England District is the home to FSSA President Diane Kampf.

Hurricane Sandy Aftermath

Submitted by dianekampf on Wed, 10/31/2012 - 18:08

We are hoping that everyone is doing as well as possible after Hurricane Sandy has passed by.  There were billions of dollars in damages across the northeast, including several Yacht Clubs as well as business and personal property.  Many people are still without power and many were forced to leave their homes.  We know that there has been wind, water and even snow damage all across the region.  The New Jersey shore took a really big hit and Monmouth Boat Club and likely others are working on getting their clubs back up and running. 

Letter to the Editor of Sailing World Magazine

As we do each year, Greg and I travelled to Saratoga New York for the annual Flying Scot Invitational hosted by Fleet 161 and chaired by Rob Hayes.  We had a great time as usual with fun racing, good friends and plenty of good food and beverages.  Friday was ouir usual visit to the horse races, where it rained all day, I lost $38 and Greg won $3, and we wondered if this was an indication of how the weekend would go.  Friday night, there was a great meal back at the clubhouse with great friends and we met a few new friends as well.
