Where to sail on Barnegat Bay

To celebrate our club's 20th Anniversary, our club has revived G-Sloop sailing on Barnegat Bay.

Starting in 2007, our club keeps 2 G-Sloops at Beaton Boat Works in Mantoloking, NJ.  Members can travel down to the Jersey Shore and sail on these beautiful wooden classic boats.

G-Sloops were built in the late 1930s especially for sailing on Barnegat Bay.  In the 1960s, participation in the class declined and the class stopped sailing.  Our club has acquired G-1 & G-12 and we have revived G-Sloop sailing.

G-Sloops are beautiful and lively traditional wooden sailboats.  Sailing these vessels is a unique and rewarding experience.  Not only do the boats look beautiful, but they feel alive with history and tradition.

Mantoloking is about a 1.5 hour drive from New York City.  Members can drive down to the beautiful Jersey Shore, sail one of the G-Sloops on Barnegat Bay and then return to the city or spend the night in a hotel or bed & breakfast.  This opens up a whole new play ground for club members.
