Thank you !by Mark M. - Verified user on Aug 30, 2024
Anchorage is rolly from ferry traffic but manageable. Very friendly club member/instructor greeted us, and the dock master guided us to our mooring, which had lines prepped for easy pick up.

Nice club- clean facilities. Michael’s Dairy right up the hill!! Ate ice cream and watched a Mitchell College soccer game. Club members helpful & friendly.

Sorry TYC, the ferry wakes are intolerable until 10 pm and the fishing boat wakes start at 4 am. The members at the clubhouse are quite friendly— they have to be. You pretty much have to hang out there, not on your boat.

Sorry we did not meet your expectations. We areca commercial river and have worked diligently with both the ferry companies and commercial fisherman. They constantly assure us that they do not exceed 5kts we know that some captains don’t think it necessary. Again we are sorry.by Peter N. - Verified user on Aug 27, 2024

Great location. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Mooring field was flat at night. Sometimes during the day some small rolllers come through the mooring field, but nothing to complain about. Saw a submarine heading down the river out to see. Definitely worth an Uber trip to check out the Submarine Museum.

Many thanks to Thames Yacht Club. The staff was extremely flexible and allowed me to stay much longer than I initially intended. This is a very charming club with a snack bar / grill, showers, launch and a small private beach. If I lived closer, I'd definitely join and call this place home.

Helpful staff and convenient mooring location!
by Kenneth M. - Verified user on Sep 24, 2022
The mooring was fine the greeting fine, the setting rather interesting and pretty. We did not go into the clubhouse, but passing it in the dinghy ion the way into another shore point to get dinner, but looked like a great place to visit. The problem is the mooring field is pretty exposed to several directions of wind. We caught a Northeast and it was bumpy. The passing and frequent ferries make a pretty good wake as they are going at a fair speed at that point upon entering harbor. We would go back again if the movement were not so great. Sorry.....

Very friendly staff to help with any inquiries you may have.

We stayed for two separate nights at the club and found it to be very good. The people and facilities are very nice. As noted in other reviews, the ferry traffic makes the water quite bumpy at times, but this does not continue through the night so sleeping was fine. We will stop in again when we are sailing in that direction.

We were welcomed warmly by both members and staff. I had engine problems and was helped to get securely moored despite the inclement weather.

Very pleasant, welcoming people.

Very helpful and friendly club! Moorings were in good shape and the reception prompt & responsive. Be warned, however, that there is no harbor breakwater in New London, so if there is a South wind, it will be lumpy. Also, a stiff ferry wake at 10 past the hour from 0710 to 2110 :)
