2010 Catalina Rendezvous on San

The Catalina Rendezvous is one of the Bay Area's exciting cruising traditions; this year we are celebrating our 14th anniversary.

Come meet other Catalina owners to share stories about adventures, improvements, and equipment. If you don't know people, your Fleet Captain will introduce you around. It's a lot of fun!

We will begin arriving at Marina Bay as early as Friday to begin the party, which may exceed 50 boats this year. Some of us will stay through Sunday night and return to the world on Monday morning. Dinners available Fri, Sat, and Sun, with breakfast on Sunday.

One of our traditions is a costume theme. The recent pirate, newport and toga have been great fun, with over half of our guests participating. This year our theme is 1950s Rock Party.

Drive ins are welcome, and there is plenty of free parking adjacent to the Tradewinds clubhouse.

Good driving directions are available on the Marina Bay Yacht Harbor site, and the Tradewinds Sailing School and Club site.

This is easy & fun for the whole family!
