Kingston

Kingston is a city in eastern Ontario, Canada. It is on the eastern end of Lake Ontario, at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River and at the mouth of the Cataraqui River (south end of the Rideau Canal). The metropolitan area has 161,175 inhabitants. The Thousand Islands tourist region is nearby to the east. Kingston is nicknamed the "Limestone City" because of the many heritage buildings constructed using local limestone.

Kingston is among the oldest permanent settlements on the Great Lakes, and is sometimes referred to as the "freshwater sailing capital of North America". A university town for over 150 years, the city has a compact, bustling European-style downtown with a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Dozens of museums and historical sites are located throughout the town. Marinas, anchoring space and marine services are plentiful, and downtown Kingston is easy to navigate on foot or by bus.

Charts

  • Canadian Hydrographic Service chart 1439 covers Kingston and the immediate surroundings. Charts 2018 and 2064 cover the approach from the west; charts 1429 through 1438 cover the approach from the east via the St. Lawrence River. Chart 1513 covers the Kingston inner harbour and the approach from the north via the Rideau Canal.
  • CHS electronic chart pack CEN-C (St. Lawrence River) includes ENC vector charts of the Kingston area. The city is also reasonably well covered by CM93 charts and is roughly covered by the American NOAA ENCs for Coast Guard District 9.

See also Ontario.

Weather

Give local weather conditions or refer to another page (a region or island group) that covers these conditions.

Sources for Weather forecasts:

Passages

See Ontario.

Islands

  • Thousand Islands

Communication

Add here VHF channel for the coastguard, harbor masters. etc.

Also see World Cruiser's Nets.

Navigation

Kingston's waterfront rests above a large magnetic anomaly; compasses may be out by as much as 30 degrees between Kingston and Wolfe Island. The approach should be made visually, with GPS and radar backup if available.

Approaching from the east, yachts should turn north through the channel marked by buoys PV1 and PV2 to go north of Wolfe Island; the channel south of the island is dominated by large ship traffic. The channel is wide and relatively clear; a handful of notable obstructions are well marked.

The approach from the west includes several shoals and small islands that must be avoided, but the safe channel is well marked and is at least half a mile wide.

Yachts approaching from the north via the Rideau Canal can follow the channel buoys from Kingston Mills to the Inner Harbour. The navigable channel is quite narrow, and vessels drawing more than 60 cm should not leave the marked channel. A no-wake 5 knot speed limit applies near Kingston Mills and when passing Rideau Marina.

Big Sandy Bay is a 13 mile trip from downtown Kingston. There is a nice sandy beach, and the bay tends to be fairly calm. The bottom is relatively hard sand with generally good holding. The prevailing westerly winds put you on a lee shore here. From late May to early September, there is a per-person fee to use the beach, and large swarms of bugs are common.
