Going to be in connecticut in a week for about a week. Looking to make the most of it.

Hi, I'm driving out to connecticut (middletown) to help my brother move away out of wisconsin. While I am out there I was hoping to make it to the coast and just get exposed to ocean/bay sailing. I'm not really looking to actually crew or anything like that, but was more curious about where I should visit if I want to see the big boats (like those J-class boats posted by another person.)

And if anyone happens to be in the area, if you happen to know other cool stuff I should check out (sailing related or not), that'd be cool too.
