Welcome to the Southern Cross Owners Association (SCOA)

Here you will find information about Southern Cross Sailboats and the Southern Cross Owners Association or SCOA.
Four (4) classes of Southern Cross Sailboats were designed by Naval Architect Thomas Gillmer and built by the C.E.
Ryder Corporation of Bristol Rhode Island. These classes are the Southern Cross 28, the Southern Cross 31, the
Southern Cross 35 and Southern Cross 39. These boats were built between 1975 and 1990 and many have made
significant voyages including several circumnavigations.

The Owners Association, SCOA. was founded in 1980, and is a active non-profit group of owners and enthusiasts for
Southern Cross Yachts. SCOA has approximately 125 worldwide members, publishes three (3) annual newsletters,
hosts a summer rendezvous and an annual meeting in the New England Area. The purpose of SCOA is for the mutual
benefit of sharing information on the upkeep and enjoyment of their Southern Cross Yachts. SCOA encourages a
close relationship between owners for the mutual advantage resulting from an exchange of ideas on construction,
maintenance, owner modifications, rigging, engine mechanics, electronics, sail making and handling, seamanship,
safety, navigation, cruising and various uses of the boats and to provide a social forum through annual and regional
meetings, joint cruises, and rendezvous.
