General Information:
Spray Beach Yacht Club (SBYC) is very happy to invite all Catboat sailors to our fourth annual
Catboat Rendezvous. This event will kick off with an informal gam on Friday night, August 25,
at SBYC wharf. Racing will be on Saturday, August 26, with a rain date scheduled for August
27, if needed. There will be one long race in Little Egg Harbor followed by a post-race social and
awards ceremony. The race will be a “Mixed Litter” event which means all size boats will race
together. The results will be determined based on Time-on-Time handicapping using
Portsmouth numbers. Awards will be given to the top three finishers.

Sailors are welcome to sail in on Friday and spend the evening in our harbor at the club. Sailors
are also welcome to spend Saturday night. Fire and ice will be provided Friday for those wishing
to Bring Your Own Everything (BYOE). If you are planning to trailer in, we’ll make
accommodations for trailer storage on our property. Boats can be launched at the public ramp in
Beach Haven and small boats can use our hoist for launching. Our club’s bathrooms, showers
and clubhouse are open for your use.


Registration will be $30 per boat. Included in the registration fee is morning coffee and bagels, and post-race social for Captains and crews. Early registration is encouraged to help us with preparation for the post-race social. Online registration will close on August 23.

Cancellation – registration received online can be cancelled up until August 23 when online registration closes.
