Sailing Social Events

Opening Ceremony on Memorial Day

We will have a beautiful day, of course, and we will hold the traditional Commissioning Ceremony at the flagpost on Memorial Day at 3:00 PM

The commodore will introduce the other members of the RPSA board and laydown the theme for this summer: getting more people out onto the water and having fun. Tradition dictates that he will ask for a moment’s silence in memory of those Roton Pointers who had passed away during the past year.

RPA President Caroline Robinson will introduce  those members of the RPA Board who are present, and Club Manager Ernie LaRocca will introduce key members of his staff.

After two cannon blasts and the raising of the Stars and Stripes, the commodore will declare Roton Point open for the summer.

Then, with the keg pumping beer, and several bottles of wine, the summer really will begin!

Regatta Dinner

The Saturday evening regatta dinner is always a very popular event. It is open to all Roton Pointers in addition to regatta participants. This year the dinner will be held on Saturday, September 17.

Annual Sailing Awards Dinner

The annual sailing awards dinner, open to all Roton Pointers, marks the end of the sailing season. The date will be announced over the summer.
