Organizational

1. Call to Order: 1740 (5:40 p.m.)
2. Minutes of 19 November were accepted.
3. Geoff provided the treasury balance of $2743 including $100 anonymous donation for a possible memorial paver for Bhrian Resnik.
4. J. Jeffryes reported that he’s keeping up with listing winners on the Fleet 4 Champions and Trophies page.
5. Geoff reported that there is no new national news.
6. Lee counted confirmed that we have a quorum for voting.
7. Shah has been sold and is out of the fleet for now.

Old Business

1. Trophies.  J. Jeffryes reminded all that we now have an action to provide trophies for the 2020 Fleet 4 Single-Handed and Double-Handed champions.
2. Sling.  Lee is working to get a fleet sling to Wayne so that sling and scale can be kept together.
3. Trailer.  Tom is working on securing a fleet trailer…. he is currently awaiting feedback from Phil Thompson.  Tom said that most available trailers will require modification to suit Harbor 20’s since exactly compatible trailers are not numerous.
4. Chalk Talk.  Bill Hahn summarized his meeting with Brad Schaupeter on a sailing class.  Brad is up for any topic, anytime, anywhere. Fleet 4 now needs to specify its wishes.  Lee has offered a large conference room at his firm for a location.  Bill suggested that the class be no longer than 3 hours.  Several agreed that rules around the weather mark and all marks would be a good topic.  Another comment was that we could do the class before noon and have a party after noon.  Lee and the rest of the fleet will watch the progress with COVID to see when we might approach this event. Morgan suggested that we might include the exact procedure for protesting in Brad’s class.
5. Party.  All are aware of the need for a party and all are watching COVID progress.
6. Bylaws.
   • Fleet 4 Hiking.  Lee brought up our past proposal to revert to the class rules.  Some discussion ensued and it was concluded that the need to hold out a spinn sheet, to clear kelp, or to go forward to work jams and emergencies would not be precluded by the Class Rules. It was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved to make this change. J. Jeffryes will modify the online bylaws and remove the Fleet 4 allowance for increased hiking, Rule I.3.
   • Fleet 4 Championship Races.  Al moved and Morgan seconded that we incorporate our proposed change for Rule F.1. Lee reminded all that the new definition applies only to one-design racing for Fleet 4 members in determination of the yearly Championship.  All voted “aye”.  Rule F1 is to be removed and replaced by: “All Harbor 20 Fleet 4 bylaws and modifications to Class rules shall apply to all one design Harbor 20 races in Santa Barbara waters designated for the yearly Fleet 4 Championship.”
7. North Sails.  Lee is in the process of discussing with Wayne the need to pull North Sails out of action. Al also suggested that protesting might be the right course to straighten out hardware configurations like this. Caroline and Jane emphasized that unofficial complaining is probably counterproductive and we should have clear rules with protests.  There was much discussion and general encouragement of protesting.
8. Sail Purchase.  Lee reminded everyone of the 15% mainsail discount. He also reminded us that Ullman is able and willing to cut Fleet 4 sails fuller for ocean power. Lee also reported that North sails might be about the same price Ullman sails. There was much discussion on the pros and cons of modified sails or sails from multiple manufacturers. Bill, Lee, Al, and Geoff said they were particularly concerned and lean away from changing our mainsail rule. Geoff further reminded us that if a change is made it can be handled fairly easily as we’ve done in the past by having a grace period….he also suggested a subcommittee to work this.  Another aspect of this topic raised by Geoff and Lee is the possibility of taking our sails out of town to use in other regattas on chartered/borrowed yachts. Jane reminded us that many one design fleets allow multiple manufacturers within a sufficiently controlled specification. Lee countered with the value of restrictions for a one-design fleet. Bill suggested that we address the manufacturer of H20 spinnakers in the same task.  Lee suggested that we continue this discussion in the future.
9. Safety Equipment.  Lee suggested we postpone discussing Fleet 4 safety equipment.
10. 2021 Board.  Lee Cushman assured all that he would follow the structure of being on the 2021 board as the past captain.  Morgan described the process for setting up a new board as having two phases, all handled via email to a single source: a. Nominating open for a set time span.  b. Voting with late voters chased down individually.  Lee suggested that JJ and he would give it a try to conduct this process. The current board nominees are, Greg Hopkins, Bill Hahn, Geoff Slaff, and Morgan Green.
11. Dues. Geoff brought up an older discussion on possibly having a different fee for dues in 2021 considering the missed party, etc.  Al suggested that the rate be kept at $100 to guard against unexpected expenses. Bill asked that we consider again convenience in paying the $15 class fee. Lee moved, it was seconded and all voted “aye” to keep the dues at $100. Geoff will work this separately in his role as Treasurer.

New Business

1. None.

Attendees:

Rich Miller, John Jeffryes, Lee Cushman, Geoff Slaff, Bill Hahn, Phil Franklin     

1. 5:00 P.M. conference call with Class President and Attorney representing the Class regarding the Class lawsuit.
2. Voting proxies for this meeting: none applicable

Old Business & Action Item

1. Sling for Fleet add to scale equipment Lee needs to deliver to Wayne.
2. Fleet trailer idea/pool information (Tom Wright).
3. Rules chalk talk Brad Schaupeter, Bill Hahn to discuss idea. Action Bill to follow up with Brad about a Half Day class “Rules at Start and Mark Rounding’s”
4. Fleet party confirm date & place Hosted by the Millers. ON HOLD
5. Discuss Double-Handed/Short-Handed Race:
   • Single Handed Harbor 20 Champion will be determined at SBSC Bougay event. (Defending Champion Geoff Slaff)
   • Double Handed Harbor 20 Champions will be determined at SBYC Double Handed race ( November 21^st )  General discussion and agreement that these two events are good Ideas and can be managed and acknowledge at Fleet level.
6.  North Sails: Lee suggested that Wayne be asked to take the sample North main and jib out of circulation for all racing events until fleet accepts change. If Wayne is agreeable Fleet members could try sails if desired in non-racing conditions or CHRF races. The report on these north sails is they are better shape and could be more economical as life span could be longer.  Action: Lee to discuss with Wayne. Some Discussion: History of decision to go with Ullman Main. Objective of Bylaws is for all boats to be using same Manufacture in order to keep cost of competing reasonable, and keeping the playing field level. It was assumed that the initial cost of North sails are more expensive then Ullman however if they hold their shape longer the price point may work out.
7. Bylaws: No Action (Not enough members present)

A.  Action: replace F1 with “All Harbor 20 Fleet 4 modifications to class rules shall apply to all   one design Harbor 20 races in Santa Barbara waters.”

B.  Also F3 “All Fleet Races are counted for purposes of scoring the Fleet 4 Championship” is not true and needs to be deleted.

C.  Hiking:  Action: We revoke Fleet Four bylaw I.3, which states: “All crew shall keep their hips within the confines of the cockpit at all times excepting the need for immediate repair or safety.”

This revocation would mean Fleet Four would revert to the existing Harbor 20 Class Association rule which states:

“II.C.4. Hiking is not permitted. All crew shall keep their torsos within the confines of the cockpit at all times, excepting in the need for immediate repair or safety.”

8. Should we make a special Fleet 4 safety equipment list for Bylaws?

  New Business & Action Items:

1. Holiday Regatta, fourth class Championship points race Saturday December 5^th.
2. 2021 Fleet Championship races need to report back to Sail Policy Committee Prior to December1st.

5. JJ asked about the exact method of submitting proposed bylaw changes and Lee took action to map out and stimulate the process as suggested by Geoff.
6. JJ brought up new 2020 Championship series previously agreed upon and took the action to update the web entries for:  1. “Champions/Trophies” 2. NOR referenced and linked on the “Champions/Trophies” page.
7. Lee brought up and all commented on the great participation in the non-spinn H20 class that Geoff has lightly organized lately. Tom asked about interest in this sort of arrangement for post-COVID racing….several members are interested.
8. Miramar Anchor-Down Race.  There was much discussion on the planned date, September 26^th or August 1^st.  More discussion ensued on involvement of non-members.  Lee moved and Geoff seconded that Rick/Nina Yabsley be selected to run the race on August 1^st.  Kevin Cahill and Morgan Green abstained, all others voted “aye”.  The expenditure for the 2019 race was about $900 and the budget for this year’s race is $500.  Both numbers exclude the price of the perpetual trophy.  Tom Wright volunteered to coordinated between the Fleet and the Yabsleys.
9.  Wayne thanked all for making the Fleet weighing happen.  He sent out results, email appended below.  It was mentioned that the same scale was used this year as in 2019.  Future calibration of the scale was discussed as a non-urgent goal. The lack of a Fleet-owned sling was brought up and Lee volunteered to work the procurement of one. The possible effects of flotation, waterlogged, foam, inflated, and otherwise, was brought up. It was also generally understood that the fiberglas and balsa of the boat also soak up water.
10. Discussion continued on possibly putting flotation requirements into the Fleet 4 Bylaws considering all of the ocean exposure we have. Geoff suggested that we address a full additional safety list for Fleet 4 including flotation.  There was general agreement and Morgan requested that Tom Wright send around the flotation information that he described. Tom took the action.
11. Lee reminded all of the upcoming Fiesta Regatta and the rescheduled Summer Regatta.  All were reminded that the Fiesta Regatta is the only two day regatta left on the Fleet 4 calendar.
12. Fleet Trailer.  The idea of owning a Fleet 4 H20 trailer was floated and all found the idea attractive. Bill Hahn volunteered to store a trailer if we acquire one. Geoff suggested a placeholder in our budget, but more discussion on the possible price between hundreds and thousands of dollars encouraged Lee and Geoff to volunteer to start researching the topic first, and bring a report/proposal to our next (September) meeting. Finally, Tom agreed to lead an effort with Morgan, Lee, Rich, and Geoff participating in pooling information and research on pricing and acquiring a trailer.
13. There was discussion on getting some of Dave Ullman’s time to discuss H20 sails. It is believed that he will be at the Fiesta Regatta and will be meeting with the J70 fleet. Lee took the action to try to contact Dave for a H20 talk either Fiesta weekend or at another date.
14. Next meeting:  Thursday, September 17^th.
15. Meeting adjourned.

PROXY EMAIL FROM KEVIN CAHILL:

    Re: Agenda Fleet 4 July 16th

I apologize for not being available to participate in tonight’s “zoom” Fleet 4 meeting. After reviewing the Agenda, it does not appear that any motions are pending. BUT, if a motion is made, I grant Lee, Morgan and Geoff a fractional interest in my proxy. So if they all don’t agree, then SHAH abstains.

FYI. I was able to get to the west campus of SBCC yesterday and watched the H20’s start and how the fleet worked its way to the weather mark….nice and tight! Well done to all the boats!

1. Voting proxies for this meeting:
   a. John Jeffryes for Bill Hahn
   b. Morgan Green for Brian Green and Kevin Cahill
2. Old minutes were approved.
3. Geoff reported no changes.
4. Rich reported nothing new at the national level.
5. Lee reported on the Sail Policy Committee on the limited racing resumptions as shown on the revised SBYC schedule. He brought up the COVID rule about having 2 sailors maximum on Harbor 20’s. SBYC is interested in minimizing the number of people and interactions, and is interested in minimizing the appearance of too many people with regard to Santa Barbara’s COVID rules. Wayne commented that the appearance of too many people was not a good excuse for the crew limitation. There was much agreement on this point. Much discussion ensued with Rich stating the value of sailing with household members only for COVID control and the disadvantage of sailing with 2 if others are sailing with 3. Al Salzer described the need to have 3 or more crew for most conditions as a safety factor. Tom Wright agreed with Al. Rich further reminded all that protesting published rules is the recourse as required. Various restatements of these concerns came from other attendees. Morgan suggested and Lee accepted the task to feedback to Brad and the Sail Policy Committee the strong wish to be allowed to sail with more than two crew. All voted “aye” for this approach.
6. Wayne moved to accept the redrafted bylaws, Morgan seconded, and the vote of all present was unanimous. JJ will incorporate the previously approved manner of voting and post the redrafted bylaws, sending them out by email in parallel to all owners and proxy voters with a request for needed substantive changes. Upon receipt of input from fleet on changes Board will meet and prioritize the list. Lee reviewed this voting scheme:
   a. In person or remotely via phone connection, or
   b. By e-mailing a board member his/her proxy beforehand, or
   c. By e-mailing a board member his/her vote beforehand.
7. Lee stated that he, Geoff, and Rich are interested in being part of the team representing “West” in the East-West Challenge in Newport Beach on October 2/3/4. JJ will contact Bill Hahn regarding his interest. Geoff and Rich mentioned other new owners and their possible interest. Lee agreed to check with all.
8. The subject of communicating with other local H20 interested parties came up and Lee summarized the discussion by stating that owners should forward to him names and emails of drew that they would like to keep informed of Fleet 4 activities. JJ will add these names to the “Interested Parties” list and the list will be used as required in the future. In all cases, owners should encourage their involved crew to participate in appropriate activities. All present agreed on this approach.
9. Lee brought up date for weighing……there were no strong comments, though Rich mentioned that Saturday morning might cause the least conflict of the two times that Lee had earlier suggested: Friday, July 10th afternoon, Saturday, July 11th, morning. Lee will put out an email on this.
10. Lee said that Brad would like some input on how to pick the SBYC H20 Fleet Champion for 2020. Various schemes were discussed……Geoff’s moved for 4 regattas with one throw-out. Further, if the SBYC experiences major scheduling problems during the remainder of 2020, the Champion would be the winner of the Summer One Design Regatta. Lee seconded the motion, all voted “aye”. The regattas would be:
    a. Rescheduled Summer One Design Regatta Saturday, August 8th.
