Menger Messabout #3 Catboat Gathering

Spring Catboat sailing in North Carolina, what could be better?

This year the Menger Catboat Messabout will be gathering at Blackbeard Sailing Club in New Bern, North Carolina. Whether your catboat was built by Bill Menger or another fine builder, we invite you to come sail with us on the beautiful Neuse River. (Registration Fee of $40 covers group meals and expenses, see agenda below)

Our adventure begins where the Upper Broad Creek meets the Neuse. This is the home waters of Blackbeard Sailing Club and our base camp for the weekend.

At over one and a half miles wide, the Neuse offers excellent sailing with no tides and plenty to explore. Five miles upriver is the historic waterfront town of New Bern, once the state capital, now a vibrant art destination. Downriver the Neuse opens up into the Pamlico Sound and beyond that, the outer banks.
