From the north end of the lake, you can follow the Richlieu River
north to the Saint Lawrence Seaway, and then eastward to the Atlantic.

Via the Chambly Canal which is narrow but very scenic. There are
several bridges where we were uncomfortable (but navigable) with a 12
1/2 ft beam. There are also places where two boats passing each other
require a great deal of caution. Max height is about 16 feet if I
recall correctly.

To the south you can access the Hudson River which will take you to
New York City.

Via the New York State barge canal system. There is a 15 foot bridge
at Ft Edwards that requires caution for power boats, but sail boats
will already have their masts unstepped of course.

Both the Chambly and NYS canals require fees and permits which are
easily obtained through their respective websites.

From New York City, you can either travel north east
and through the Long Island Sound to the Atlantic, or continue south
past Fort Hamilton and out to the Atlantic.
