The 4th Annual Menger Messabout returns to The Blackbeard Sailing Club on Upper Broad Creek of the Neuse River in eastern North Carolina. All Catboats (and traditionally rigged small craft) are welcome to participate. The event is free, but we share the expense of our group meals. RSVP (to mengermessabout@gmail.com) is required for meal planning. Blackbeard offers primitive on-site camping and plenty of space for trailers. On Friday (4-17), we gather, rig, and launch with casual sailing. On Saturday, we sail as a group for New Bern and lunch on the historic waterfront (winds willing) or Messabout on the Neuse River, and its tributaries. On Sunday, we continue to messabout in the morning, haul, and head home.
