Fleet 1 Championship Reminders
2025 Harbor 20 Fleet 1 Championship – September 20-21, NHYC
Important Reminders
- Boats must be in the water for 60 days before the event (bylaw I.F.9).
- Skippers must have been owners for 60 days before the event (bylaw I.F.10).
So, this year those criteria must be met by July 22.
- Boats must have a measurement certificate (class bylaw III.A.8) which can be verified by clicking your sail number in the harbor20.org member roster.
- A copy of the registration must be on the boat and must list the skipper’s name.
- Crews must have sailed on the boat 12 times since the last fleet championships.
- Petitions (such as for a crew who doesn’t meet the 12-race requirement) must be submitted to the Fleet Measurer before September 16.
Rules Around the Race Course – Sunday, June 29, BCYC
Open to all sailors – H20, other one designs, PHRF, etc.
This is a HALF DAY interactive clinic focused on the parts of the racing rules that are most important for competitors to understand. Using white boards and magnetic boats, we will work through the scenarios that occur most often in any sailboat race – during the start, windward legs, the windward mark, leeward legs, the leeward mark, and the finish. Have questions about the rules, or situations you have been in? Come and get your questions answered! Great for skipper and crew because more heads are better than one.
Sunday, June 29, 1:00 – 5:00
Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club
Price: $45.00

Strategy & Tactics, Sunday June 8, BCYC
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!

Co-Ownership Opportunity: Harbor 20 Sailboat #56 (Nervous Wreck)
Looking for a sailing partner to co-own a beautiful Harbor 20 — perfect for day sailing, racing, and enjoying time on the water without the full burden of solo ownership.
This is an ideal boat for someone who loves sailing but doesn’t want the hassle of full-time maintenance or cost. The Harbor 20 is a stable, fast, and easy-to-sail keelboat with classic lines and a strong one-design racing community.
About the Boat:
- Model: Harbor 20
- Length: 20 feet
- Rig: Fractional sloop
- Condition: Excellent — well-maintained and ready to sail (maintained by Philip Thompson)
- Location: In the Marina next to Sol Mexican restaurant.
What I’m Looking For:
A responsible and enthusiastic sailor interested in a 50/50 ownership arrangement
Someone who enjoys both casual sailing and possibly racing
Willing to split costs, upkeep, and scheduling fairly
Preferably local to the area or with regular access to the boat
Costs:
We would share slip fees, maintenance, insurance, and any upgrades equally. I’m open to working out a flexible schedule that ensures fair and easy access for both of us.
If you’ve always wanted to own a Harbor 20 but didn’t want to go it alone, this is a great chance to join forces with another passionate sailor.
Interested?
Let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a time to see the boat.
