  • Crews must have sailed on the boat 12 times since the last fleet championships.

H20 Class Bylaws – Amended May 1, 2024

Class Items

Class Bylaws Updated

The class board of directors is working to keep our boats one-design with fair competition for all sailors.  We are making a series of bylaw updates to specify the Harbor 20 more precisely.  The latest update adds Section IV with a full set of design drawings for the boat.  It also adds approved upgrades III.B.1.q, allowing the backstay adjuster line to be led forward, and III.B.1.r, allowing fleets to approve alternatives to the standard motor mount.

These updates are NOT intended to put any existing unmodified boat out of compliance. Their purpose is to ensure that modifications to boats maintain the one-design character of the Harbor 20.

SOLD

I purchased this 2002 Harbor 20 in 2012, sailed it in 2013, changed jobs, and didn’t sail again until 2022.

I kept the boat in a slip in 2013, 2022, and 2023.  In 2018, I purchased a custom Triad trailer [$5k], which has been used four times to tow the boat to and from the marina in 2022 and 2023.

Other than the sails showing their age, the boat’s in good shape and ready for another season.  The stainless steel standing rigging has only three season’s use and while you could probably get another season or two out of the sails, I’d find someone who races their boat and buy their practice sails; racers routinely change sails and usually offer their last set of very good condition sails at attractive prices.

The Harbor 20 sails exceptionally well.  It’s wonderfully responsive and the roller furling and self-tacking jib makes single-handing a joy.  The cockpit is deep, comfortable, and spacious enough to bring along a few friends.

I receive many compliments on the Harbor 20.  It’s stable, fast, and fun – just splash and sail.

Bettina Bents Memorial Women’s Regatta – Saturday, June 8, NHYC

Bettina Bents was an avid sailor from a young age. She was an active sailor in the non-calm program at Newport Harbor  Yacht Club.  She sailed in the Adams Cup, which was the National Women’s Sailing championship.  She raced  in many boats over the years from lasers to Santanas.  She was instrumental in organizing the Newport Harbor Maritime Museum as well as raising funds for the ship “Argus” and for the 6 meter “California”.  Newport Harbor Yacht Club is pleased to be able to carry on this tradition of the Bettina Bents Memorial Women’s Regatta in her memory.
