Join us for a fun day of racing and connection building!

The Rutgers University Sailing Team (RUST) brought a portion of our Flying Junior fleet to Raritan Yacht Club (RYC) in 2025 to have a practice venue for our racing program in addition to our learn-to-sail program hosted at the Class of 1914 Boathouse on the Raritan River in New Brunswick. 

Several of our RUST alumni are members of RYC and many of our current RUST sailors actively compete in RYC’s J105 fleet too! With this regatta, we hope to strengthen those ties, foster new connections with RYC members, and raise funds to support the continued growth of RUST.

This regatta is open to all Raritan Yacht Club sailors, regardless of prior experience. If you do not have a preferred boat to sail on, we will match you with a boat in need of crew. If you plan to sail on a specific boat, you will have the opportunity to indicate this during registration.
