Building on it's strong standing and steady customer base, the Sailing school has announced the formation of a FlairCraft training school and tour center.  

 

Many customers had been complaining

that they don't have time for the wind to pick up (in addition to the slow-ish boat speeds involved in sailing). After researching available options, it was concluded that introducing the FlairCraft was a no-brainer.

With a cruising speed of 80 knots and a range of 124.67 nautical miles, the FlairCraft can easily handle a four foot chop.  Regular runs to Block Island for lunch are anticipated.      

The three new FlairCraft will be docked at Cove's "D" Dock.

After much deliberation, the Cove administration will be making the following changes for the Summer of 2014:

"B" dock will be exclusively reserved for transient boats. Many cruising boats and distant Yacht Clubs have expressed interest in coming "en-masse" to scenic Norwalk.  A transient-only picnic ground and Tiki Bar will be featured for their enjoyment.  Existing "B" dock customers will be moved to the "Boneyard" docks, recently renamed "Cove-by-the-Sea".  Construction will begin July first. 

"C" dock will be reserved for sailboats only.  Due the large number of sailboats wintering at Cove, as well as the demise of a large marina in Stamford, a dedicated dock for sailboats is now warranted.  Note:  trawlers with tall masts may be considered upon application on an individual basis.  Weekend Knot Tying, advanced Macrame and winch grinding seminars will be offered by Capt. Rick.
