About SCOA

The Southern Cross Owners Association (SCOA) is a non-profit organization of owners and enthusiasts for Southern Cross Yachts (28, 31, 35 and the 39). SCOA has been established for many years, has approximately 120 worldwide members, publishes a newsletter and hosts a summer rendezvous and an annual meeting in Newport Rhode Island. The annual meeting is usually held in February.

The main component of the Owners Association is information and fellowship. The newsletters contain useful information on repairs, solutions, plans, cruising tips, equipment and sailing stories. It's a good source of information about how owners have dealt with the challenges of owning and sailing a cruising boat. It's also fun to hear about the adventures of others. We have members who send us letters from Bali to the Caribbean and many places in between. The organization is fun and useful because they tie you into a community of cruisers who have one thing in common, an interest in Southern Cross Yachts.

We hope you enjoy the web site and if you are an owner, please consider joining.
