The regatta is open to all "beach" catamarans measuring less than 22 feet.

  • F20s

  • F18s

  • A-Class

  • Hobie 21s

  • Hobie 18s

  • Hobie 16s

  • Hobie Getaways

  • Hobie Waves

  • "Other"

Facilities and
Hospitality

  • We have plenty of space to store boats overnight, and ample parking for cars, trailers, and RVs.

  • Tent camping is permitted free of charge in our beautifully treed Grove overlooking the Sound. In addition, this year, many Club members will open their homes to visiting competitors. And there are several nearby hotels for those who prefer.

  • Our Bathhouse has showers for men and women, with plenty of hot water, and the "Hotel" clubhouse has a large covered porch for our off-water festivities.

  • Breakfast is served to racers Saturday and Sunday mornings, with a variety of bag lunches and drinks available to take on board.

  • A highlight of the weekend will be our traditional Roton Point Multihull Regatta Steak Barbecue Dinner and Dance on Saturday night!

Roton
Point

Once home of an amusement park (1875-1941) known as the "prettiest park on Long Island Sound," Roton Point's greatest asset has always been its remarkable, 12-acre waterfront location. Our sailing bay is one of the best small-boat harbors on Long Island Sound; with a wooden ramp and motorized winch above a sandy beach protected by two breakwaters. [For those interested in Roton Point's amusement park days, there's a book published by Arcadia.]
