SAILING FACTS

On July 26, 1871, the Toms River Yacht Club sponsored its first regatta.
Since that time the growth of competitive sailing in the area has been remarkable.
Many Olympians and America’s Cup sailors sailed in Toms River.
Several collegiate All-Americans have sailed on Barnegat Bay, and have developed their skills in local junior sailing programs.
Numerous sailors have said the Toms River waters and the Barnegat Bay offer some of the most optimum small boat sailing conditions.
The OCC program began in 2002 with six sailors and no boats
The OCC program now has:
- Over twenty sailors each semester
- Nineteen 420’s dinghies
- 18 Marshall Catboat
- A 16 foot Sandpiper cat boat named Coyle
- Two 17 Zodiac rescue boats
