The Fleet 1 Championship regatta is this coming weekend, September 24-25 at Newport Harbor Yacht Club. Competitors will be vying for a Championship title in all three divisions. In addition to take-home trophies, the winners of A, B, and C divisions will have their names added these beautiful perpetual trophies, which are perpetually displayed at NHYC.

For those who might think they are not qualified to sail in a championship, you are mistaken! If you qualify per Fleet 1 bylaws I.F.8 – I.F.10, you are invited! Someone’s name will be added to each of the perpetual trophies, and it could be yours!

Enjoy two days of racing and dinner at NHYC Saturday night during this, the concluding event of the 2021 – 2022 racing season for Fleet 1.

This regatta supports the Ronald McDonald House Charities which helps provide more overnight stays for families with sick children around the world so they can share hugs, smiles, and time together.

2022 Harbor 20 Fleet 1 Championship – September 24-25

Important Reminders

• Boats must be in the water for 60 days before the event (bylaw I.F.9).

• Skippers must have been owners for 60 days before the event (bylaw I.F.10). 

So, this year those criteria must be met by July 26.

• Boats must have a measurement certificate (class bylaw III.C.2) which can be verified by clicking your sail number in the harbor20.org member roster.

• A copy of the registration must be on the boat and must list the skipper’s name. 

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

• Petitions (such as for a crew who doesn’t meet the 12-race requirement) must be submitted to the Fleet Measurer before the September 10 Board meeting.

The Harbor 20 Midsummer Regatta is one of only two High Point Regattas of the Summer Season. It is also part of BYC’s year-long Centennial celebration, so there is likely to be something special at the Awards Ceremony.

.The racing venue will be the 5 Points Area.
