Roton Point Club, Rowayton Ct.

This year marks the Golden Aniversary of the Fall Multihull Regatta, the oldest continuously run cat race in America, the first one held in 1959.

Roton point is a private club on Long Island Sound that has a long tradition of multihull sailing, including hosting the Alter Cup, and The Little America's Cup with the Patient Lady series.

The facilities include 13 acres of shaded waterfront, a 40' wide launching ramp with a haul out winch on a sandy beach, and a huge clubhouse with hot showers.

Camping is encouraged, motorhomes are welcomed.

The Saturday night steak dinner party is legendary, this year the entertainment is by Changes in Latitudes, the priemier Jimmy Buffet tribute band. (it's an easy stumble to your tent on the lawn outside)

The regatta is 3 miles from I-95, about an hour north of NYC. The PRO usually will try for a minimum of 7 races in two days with the awards ceremony early on Sunday afternoon for those traveling.

For all the elements that make a regatta great this is the best I've ever been to.

Notice of Race

If any one would like to mix it up in a mostly monomaran race that has had over 300 entries there is the Stamford Denmark Friendship race the week before.

Roton point will allow mast up storage for any boats showing up early for cats over 18'.

It's about a 6 mile sail down to the start from Roton Point.

(It's really fun blowing by a hundred half-boats at warp speed)

the party at SYC ain't too shabby either.
