Our 34th Cat Gathering is on August 22, 2026
The annual Arey’s Pond Cat Gathering brings together Arey’s Pond catboat owners and sailing enthusiasts for a parade of sail through Pleasant Bay celebrating classic boats, friendly racing, and the community that has made these iconic catboats a Cape Cod tradition. Followed by an award ceremony, it’s a chance to reconnect with old friends, welcome new sailors, and enjoy the sailing season.
More details and registration coming soon.
