Senior Sailing
SBYC provides club Sunfish sailboats and a Hobie Wave catamaran for member use. Members volunteer to help other members learn how to sail. It is a great opportunity for adults to learn how to sail in a calm and nurturing environment. Sea Class sailors often move up in abilities and participate in the weekly Sunfish racing classes.
Catboat Tuesdays provides additional opportunities for members to experience sailing on beautiful Barnegat Bay. New for 2025, we are expanding Catboat Tuesdays to include more sailboats to accommodate higher demand.
