Spring Regatta & deMarzo  Centennial Cup

The Owner names highlighted above are also registered in the SERC Spring Regatta.  Owner John Heintz sailing Endurance (sail # 231) is also registered for this event, which will be held on May 12th.    Notice to Race and Sailing Instructions are available on the AYC Race website, and will also be available from the front desk after May 5th.  Boats will rendezvous at 10:30 AM ½ Mile NE of Back Creek entrance – Eastport.  First warning at 11:00 AM.

Remember the “G. di Marzo Centennial Cup will be awarded to the overall winner of the Harbor-20 Class Fleet 5 Spring and Fall series. (Scheduled for September 8th.)  The trophy was presented to the Yacht Club at a formal dinner with the Fleet 5 officers and AYC Commodore Kevin Mc Neal, Fleet Captain Jim Ellis, and Trophy Committee Chair Jack Lynch.   The trophy is now proudly displayed in the One Design Trophy Case on the 3rd floor Bridge Deck.  Stop by the Club and check it out.   The competition is on!

Commodores Cup  June 23rd.   SAVE THE DATE!

Your Fleet 5 officers have been working with AYC to gain additional recognition for our growing H-20 fleet.  This has resulted in a very special opportunity for Fleet 5 members.  The weekend of June 22 -24 will mark the 126th anniversary of Annapolis Yacht Club.  The weekend will commence with the Commodores Reception on Friday June 22.  On Saturday, June 23rd, plans are being made to hold a special Harbor-20 Commodores Cup Race.  The plan is to invite all of the current and past AYC commodores to race on Harbor-20’s.  Each boat will sail with a three person crew, which will include the boat owner, a Commodore, and a crew person selected by the commodore.  The Commodore and his/her selected crew will race the boar and will look to the owner for “hands off” advice on boat operating and performance.  This race will mark the first award of a special Commodores H-20 Cup trophy.  The trophy will include the names of the winning Commodore, crew, and boat name and a keeper award will be given.  This race event will have a good chance of becoming an annual club anniversary event featuring H-20’s, and will be a unique opportunity for our fleet.  A special luncheon for all of the race participants will follow the race, and will serve as the awards ceremony for this event.

After lunch, Fleet 5 members can participate in a meet and greet with fellow club members who are interested in the prospect of owning a Harbor-20.  Since our boats will be docked in front of the Club, it will be easy to offer to take interested people for an introductory sail.  Essentially this will be a Harbor 20 Day at the Club.  A lot of people will . . . → Read More: Harbor-20 Fleet 5 Newsletter No. 5]]> Harbor-20 Fleet 5

Cinco de Mayo Sailing Lunch Cruise Celebration

As announced in Peter’s email, we are looking forward to entertain the fleet on our home on May 5^th (weather day May 6^th).  As stated, the plan is to launch our boats at 10:00 AM and proceed with a group sail to the Brooks’ house on Ridout Creek off from Whitehall Creek.  Margaritas and lunch will be waiting at the dock upon your arrival around 1:00 PM.  Around 2:30 we will start the sail back or be towed back in order to haul boats by 5:00 PM.  This is our first social event under sail, and invited friends and family are welcome to attend.  Pleas let Peter know by May first if you can attend, and the number of people on your boat. trogdon@weems-plath.com

New H-20 Owners

We have three new owners who are in the process of joining Fleet 5.  Michael Turner and Rick Hill have jointly purchased h20 (Sail No. 186) from Garth Hichens.  Garth’s new H-20 (Sail No. 339) has arrived, and is in the process of being named.  Ruth Wright has also purchased a used H-20, and is looking forward to joining us to both race and socialize.  Please introduce yourself and welcome to Ruth, Rick, and Michael to our fleet.

South Carolina Yacht Club Harbor 20 East Coast Championship

To my knowledge, I do not know of anyone from Fleet 5 who is planning to trailer their boat to Hilton Head to participate in this event.  It is also unfortunate that the race falls on the same weekend as our Cinco de Mayo social get together.  I know that the folks from SCYC would like to have us involved, and perhaps next year we can have a few boats make the trip.   If you are interested in this year’s event, please contact David Wilson, Yachting Director.  His phone number is 843-540-4797

Cockpit cushions, two new batteries, intelligent charger, recent new motor controller, electric auxiliary motor, canvas cockpit cover (needs some re-stitching), sails are OK but would need new for racing, running lights, automatic bilge pump, dock lines, and fenders. This boat is ready to go but shows some age and use with a few dock dings, weathered finish, etc., just the normal wear and tear of a boat that’s used with family and friends.

The boat’s builder, WD Schock, has a refurbishing program where they make the boat like new. We were quoted $4-6K, so for under $20K you could have a Bristol example, any color, any name, and ready to race. Or just knock about in it as is like we do – she works great!

*The boat can stay at its dock on Balboa Peninsula Point for some time rent free; details to be arranged at time of sale.

Price Reduced!

Price: $13,900 or best offer

Have you ever contemplated competing in your Harbor 20, but just don’t know how to get started? Jumping in to the existing B-Fleet can be intimidating because the fleet is pretty big. But, as of the 2011-2012 racing season, there is now a C-Fleet in Newport Harbor. The C-Fleet offers an introductory experience to sailing a Harbor 20, whether your interest lies in racing or not. Even if you have no interest in racing your Harbor 20, trying a bit of racing helps develop boat handling and seamanship skills faster than any other learning activity.
