Saturday, August 20th will be the day of our annual Harbor 20 Heritage Regatta & Summer Party. This annual fun event offers a “not so usual” regatta format and fun, music, food and drinks at LIYC.

Entry is expected to be $20 – $25, which include the Regatta entry and the Summer Party.

Online entry will be made available mid-August, but Save the Date now.

Fleet 4 in Santa Barbara is gearing up for the annual Fiesta Cup July 15-17. Besides the Harbor 20 fleet, we will be hosting the J/70 West Coast Championship. This has always been a favorite regatta for the Harbor 20 Fleet and is part of their Championship Series. Good winds and great parties are anticipated. The famous party on the beach will once again feature our favorite band, “Jason Campbell and the Drive”. NOR and Si’s are online now at sbyc.org.

The BCYC Leukemia Cup Regatta is is both an important charity event and a High Point. If you cannot participate, you can still donate! Registration and/or donation information can be found here. We hope to see you there!

When:  Friday, June 17

Where:  Santa Barbara, in the water in front of SBYC in the general area of the permanent starting buoys.

We’ll start at 5:00 P.M. and be out until 6:30 or later. Show up when you can.  Ken Keiding will set a line and run a series of practice starts.  Take a radio and monitor Channel 71–there will be real time coaching!

On May 26th, the Harbor 20 Fleet 1 Board of Directors approved amendments to the Fleet 1 Bylaws.  The amended ByLaws can be found on the ByLaws page, or downloaded here.

Among changes to clarify terms and policies, the significant changes are related to Division promotions / re-qualifications and how the Board may consider petitions to sail in Divisions.  These changes can be found in the APPENDIX A: Rules for Maintaining Fleet Race Divisions.

 

The Fleet 4 Santa Barbara meeting scheduled for Thursday this week (May 26) has been postponed.  Stand by for updates.

Imagine racing in our beautiful harbor WITHOUT weekend traffic or other races going on in the vicinity. That is exactly what Phil Ramser had in mind when he initiated the spring Friday Frolic Regatta at NHYC. The first was held on Friday, February 26, followed by March 18, April 1, and April 15. The rest are scheduled for:

May 13, 2016
May 20, 2016

This is informal daytime racing at its best, so if you haven’t participated so far you can still join the fun!

Enjoy lunch at the club before the 2:00 start, and meet for libations after racing. What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon!
