Schock Regatta History

This regatta commemorates W.D. “Bill” Schock, founder of W. D. Schock Company, the builder of many great sailing classes in Southern California, such as the Lido 14’s, Schock 35’s, and many more. Bill’s son,Tom, took over the company and was the first builder of our great Harbor 20 class. The story goes that a group of seasoned sailors were in the bar one night at Newport Harbor Yacht Club and asked Tom to build a comfortable boat, one that was easy to sail, where no one would get wet or roll out of the boat.  Tom’s brother, Steve, designed the first Harbor 20 and launched it May 1st, 1997 with Sail #1.  The original boat currently belongs to a NHYC member. 

The Regatta started 20 years ago when Tom desired to have the First Major Regatta of the season on the Bay.  Tom and his wife, Jane, his First Mate and High School Sweetheart, retired to Montana 10 years ago where they continue to sail their Harbor 20.
