Sailing Locations
Locations
1) Barrington YC (member needed to sail). This location requires planning as you need to sail around slack (high or low) tide. This location is excellent in N, NW, W. That said there are multiple docks that can be used to make it work on the S, SE and E. NE is challenging. Address: 25 Barton Ave, Barrington, RI 02806
2) Tiverton YC (member needed to sail). This location also has current, but typically the current is not strong enough to stop sailing unless it is light wind. This location is excellent in S, SW, W, N, NW. Not as good in NE & E. This location can have some considerable wave action in certain directions and current. Address: 58 Riverside Dr, Tiverton, RI 02878
3) Sunset Cove in Island Park (This is a coffee shop). It is a place of business. Sailing here needs approval by the owner Mike MacFarland. Please use street parking and buy lots of coffee and cookies. MacFarland also owns Blue Anchor and Tremblays which are two bar/restaurants down the street... so spend some $$. This location does not have current. It is great in the W, NW, N, NE also in a windy Southerly. It is good in the SW, S, SE (unless it is really light). East is not good. Address: 706 Park Ave, Portsmouth, RI 02871
4) Warren Town Beach (this is a public location with parking across the street). You need to be +/- 2 hours around high tide or you need to get your feet wet to sail. It is great in SW, W, NW. Waves can be big at times. Easterly wind directions are challenging. Address: 533-559 Water St, Warren, RI 02885
5) 60 Riverside Ave Portsmouth (this is a private residence and needs approval of Mike Zani). It is great location in the SW, S, SE, E. Not good in W, NW, N.
6) Bungee Lake - this is mystical location in Attleboro, MA. We sailed there once but nobody lived to tell about it.
