Boat Club

The SSCA Boat Club is about so much more than boating. Most members don’t even own a boat! We gather to enjoy social interaction and the chance to meet new neighbors. Throughout the year, the Boat Club sponsors five major events, including a swap meet, picnics and holiday parties, as well as monthly Breakfast GAMs.

2026 GAM Presentations

A GAM is a New England term referring to a gathering to exchange important information. (Wikipedia) At SSCA Boat Club GAMs, like the New Englanders of past, members also get together to enjoy a hearty breakfast and informative presentations.
