Renaissance Regatta, our signature fundraiser, is your opportunity to take part in celebrating all that CBC accomplishes every year. Join us on Thursday, 8/1/24!

This year’s Renaissance Regatta & Celebration features an end-of-season, summer camp awards ceremony and reception. All CBC Sailing & EcoAdventure campers from all sessions, adult members, friends, family (sail with your child!), guests & sponsors from the entire summer season are invited to join us for an afternoon/evening of regatta fun and activities!

Show your support of CBC with an advanced ticket purchase to this fundraiser. Regatta attendees can enjoy watching youth sailors race sailboats, kayaks, and paddleboards from the pier followed by an awards ceremony. Ticket purchase includes appetizers (food truck available), adult beverages, and sailboat rides for campers, family (sail with your child!), and friends! CBC support opportunities include a race spectator boat, raffle, auction, & Upper Bay powerboat tours.

The mission of Community Boating Center (CBC) is to provide instruction and access to recreational sailing and boating for all, with an emphasis on children, without regard to financial station. We do so by providing programs to build self-esteem, broaden horizons, and advance environmental awareness. CBC nurtures a true sense of community in which the diversity of the urban environment is respected and encouraged.
