Want to own a piece of yachting history?

Who would have guessed this is where J Boats and MJM Yachts took root. Built in the 1850s and now on the market, “Salt Acres” in Stonington CT is where Bob and Rodney Johnstone spent summers away from Glen Ridge NJ.  As infants  in the late 1930s, they were shanghied from cribs by sailing parents before they could talk and object. At age 2, little “Robbie” was given the helm and commanded to “push” then “pull” in a parent-child race. They finished last. The rest is history.
Tip when Cruising.  Going east from Stonington, as you enter the narrow channel toward Watch Hill, this is the view to port opposite Sandy Point.
