Welcome to the Home Page of Highlander Fleet 47 in the Westerly RI / Pawcatuck CT area. We are dedicated as a group to having fun and improving our sailing skills. Newcomers are welcome with open arms. If you would like to join us there are several ways to get on the water. You can crew with one of us or you can try out a loaner boat. We usually gather after the racing at the Avondale Boat Yard for hotdogs. Contact our Fleet Captain Mark Steinmetz if you are interested in joining us. mark@qualitywoodwork.com

January 24, 2012 - Deep in a secret location
(Area 69) in Westerly a highlander is taking on a new life. As you can see
from the picture, several alien looking fellows have been rehabilitating
Rick Browns old boat Mayhem. It is rumored that they are using recently
uncovered alien technology to make it stiffer, lighter and faster than it
was before. These sightings seem to occur most frequently on Tuesday
Nights. There is a rumor going around (if I can get it started) that Jeff is
preparing an article for the Highlander magazine and website. (photo credit
