2020 Mentorship Suggestions needed by September 23

In 2018 the Philip Thompson Mentorship Perpetual was awarded to the first recipient, Bill Menninger. Last year 2019 the recipient was Bob Yates and it is time to nominate our 2020 Mentor of the Year!

We are now accepting applications from Fleet One members accompanied by their story of the applicant they feel worthy of the award and why. These stories will be reviewed by the prior year’s recipients, the donors and two Harbor 20 Fleet One board membersand two Harbor 20 Fleet One members at large selected by the above committee members.

The stories of mentorship will be shared each year at the award presentation.

Please submit your suggestions by: September 23, 2020

To: sconzelman@gmail.com

be sure to make your subject matter: MENTORSHIP

We apologize for the short window however; the decision was just made to present at Championships instead of the usual awards event in December.

✨It is good to share with others your abilities and even better to reveal to them their own✨

FOR SALE – H20 #115

Sale Pending…

I purchased the boat from Tom Schock at WD Schock in March of 2010 as the second owner.  This boat was originally day sailed at Big Bear Lake and then moved to Elephant Butte Lake in southern New Mexico after purchase.  This is a fresh water only boat.  The bottom paint is new, Pettit Vivid white with Pettit epoxy barrier.  The mast and standing rigging were replaced at the time of sale.  A swim ladder was also purchased from WD Schock.  The spinnaker was purchased new in 2010, Elliott/Pattison asymmetric spinnaker, and has never been used.   The mainsail, jib and running rigging are original.  The trailer tires are probably original as well.  The motor controller has been rebuilt and the electric motor runs well.  The two marine batteries have been on a battery maintainer.

The boat is currently stored at Elephant Butte Lake in my building and has been not been sailed in about 3 years.

Asking $ 16,000.00

Heritage Regatta Update – Saturday, August 15

The Heritage Regatta will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2020, hosted by Harbor 20 Fleet 1. 

Due to the coronavirus, the event is now planned to be entirely on the water near Lido Isle Yacht Club.  Although we won’t have a meal, snack bags will be served to all participants. 

The race will be a pursuit race, with more experienced racers starting after the less experiences racers.  The Race Committee will let each skipper know when they are to start. 

This event is free to Fleet 1 members and is $20 for non-members.  Come in your favorite Hawaiian shirt.  More information will be provided in the Notice of Race to be published soon.

We hope to see you there!

Please note that the Fleet Championship is held in conformance to class rules per fleet bylaw I.F.7.

MESSAGE TO MEMBERS FROM HARBOR 20 FLEET 1 BOARD:

We just want you all to know, the Fleet is racing and the Board is working hard to keep the regattas on schedule.

Over the last several months the Board has been working to adapt to our changing world with the impact of COVID-19. We have seen some great (informal) efforts by our members to keep the racing going with an emphasis on safety, fun and camaraderie, our Fleet 1 is so well known for. Thank you to all the members that have stepped up to keep us racing and enjoying our Harbor 20’s and our wonderful harbor in Newport Beach.

We will continue to work to have the regattas as scheduled but remember we will have to be adaptable and flexible as State, County, City and yacht club rules change for social gatherings.

New fleet members, we are working hard to finish our race mentor series and get creative with some other opportunities to introduce you to racing in a friendly environment. Stay tuned to this website and the Fleet 1 Facebook page for events and updates.

As always feel free to contact any board member with questions or ideas.
