Fleet 19 of the Catalina 27 Sailing Association is a cruising fleet, operating in the Northern Chesapeake Bay. Our goal is to share our experiences sailing the Catalina 27 with others who enjoy this popular boat. We also enjoy sharing the skills we have developed on the Bay and on our boats with sailors that are new to the Bay or new to their boat.

Although we are chartered for Catalina 27 and 270, we also welcome sailors with boats of any size or brand to join Fleet 19 and to share in the fun.

Fleet 19 has monthly sailing activities from May through October. These day-long, weekend and longer cruises are designed to build skills and confidence in our boats and to enjoy the company of other sailors. We also have winter activities that keep us “sailing” through the off-season.

Look over the website and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We would be happy to have you join us on the Chesapeake Bay.

--> Note to self...Remember, when one has pets or children and live in a multi-level home, do NOT go up or down stairs in the dark without turning on the light, otherwise, this may happen to you!! I (Lynn Thornton-Conner) took a tumble down the stairs, breaking my right ankle on 12/12 after slipping of one of my five cats (the cat, fortunately, was not unjured). Below is a picture of me with Dude sleeping in my lap.
