UConn Avery Point’s Waterfront Program was created in 2004 and is designed to provide recreational, instructional, academic, and competitive on-the-water programming to the UConn Avery Point community that complements the marine and maritime focus of this coastal regional campus. This is done through four primary means utilizing a fleet of six 420 sailing dinghies, 12 FJ sailing dinghies, four kayaks, 9 hybrid sit-on-top kayaks and paddle boards, and a 16-foot safety powerboat.
The UConn Avery Point Sailing Club’s season is year round. With multiple meeting times each week, there are ample opportunities for UConn Avery Point students, staff, faculty, and alumni to venture out on the waters of the Thames River and Fishers Island Sound in sailing dinghies and kayaks.
Gifts to the Avery Point Waterfront Programs Fund provide programming support for recreational, instructional, academic, and competitive water oriented programming that compliments the marine and maritime focus of the campus.
