    We’re getting really excited about the Rendezvous! I know August may feel a ways off, but now is the time to take advantage of the Early Bird discount before it expires on April 15. We already have over 30 boats registered and more than 70 people attending!

    To make things even more exciting, we’ll be giving away a two-way communication headset, generously donated by EarTec. The UltraLite-Pro 16 Wireless Headset is a game-changer for communicating with your crew—especially on the bow. No more shouting… and no more apologizing later for what was said in the heat of the moment (well, maybe not everything—haha).

    The winner will be drawn from all registrants during the Rendezvous. Be sure to sign up now! (INA Board and Rendezvous Committee members are not eligible.)

    All attendees will also receive a free gift of complimentary Rendezvous merchandise and will have the opportunity to purchase branded attire featuring our 2026 Rendezvous logo!
