H20 Class Bylaws – Amended September 18, 2026

Class Items

Class Bylaws Updated

Bylaw III.A.9.c now gives you another way to get your boat closer to the minimum 1950-pound weight.  Previously, if you removed your batteries, you had to replace them with 140 pounds of weight. Now, you only have to replace them with 25 pounds of weight (or a 25-pound battery to run your lights and bilge pump).

New bylaw III.B.1.s lets you add a 2:1 purchase to your main outhaul to make it easier to adjust.

New bylaw III.B.3.a.v clarifies that the shrouds and forestay are not to be adjusted while racing.

Strategy & Tactics, Sunday June 7, BCYC

Fleet 1

OPEN TO ALL SAILORS! H20, PHRF, OTHER ONE DESIGNS…

While “Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing” and “Boat Handling and Sail Trim” are essential topics to understand in order to be competitive, neither will teach you how and why a sailboat race is actually won. “Strategy” is a plan you make before the start as to how you would sail the course as fast as possible in the absence of other boats. “Tactics” is about boat-to-boat maneuvers that help you to sail to your strategic plan. Great for skipper and crew because two heads are better than one!
