Fleet 1 Championship Reminders
2025 Harbor 20 Fleet 1 Championship – September 20-21, NHYC
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 22.
- Boats must have a measurement certificate (class bylaw III.A.8) 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 September 16.
Rules Around the Race Course – Sunday, June 29, BCYC
Open to all sailors – H20, other one designs, PHRF, etc.
This is a HALF DAY interactive clinic focused on the parts of the racing rules that are most important for competitors to understand. Using white boards and magnetic boats, we will work through the scenarios that occur most often in any sailboat race – during the start, windward legs, the windward mark, leeward legs, the leeward mark, and the finish. Have questions about the rules, or situations you have been in? Come and get your questions answered! Great for skipper and crew because more heads are better than one.
Sunday, June 29, 1:00 – 5:00
Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club
Price: $45.00

Strategy & Tactics, Sunday June 8, BCYC
OPEN TO ALL SAILORS! H20, PHRF, OTHER ONE DESIGNS…
While “Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing” and “Boat Handling and Sail Trim” are essential topics to understand in order to be competitive, neither will teach you how and why a sailboat race is actually won. “Strategy” is a plan you make before the start as to how you would sail the course as fast as possible in the absence of other boats. “Tactics” is about boat-to-boat maneuvers that help you to sail to your strategic plan. Great for skipper and crew because two heads are better than one!

2025 H20 National Championship – March 20-22, NHYC
The Harbor 20 National Class Championship is not held every year. This year, Newport Harbor Yacht Club will be hosting the event and we hope to have great participation from outside our fleet.
For those of you questioning whether this event is for you, please consider the following:
The entered skippers will sail 6 races to determine which fleet they will placed into; Gold or Silver. There is no level of experience necessary to enter and sail in this event. It’s a fabulous learning opportunity!
Don’t be intimidated. Everyone will be on their best behavior.
The social events are open to all sailors and non-sailors (non-sailors will pay a fee for participation in the events and the dinner). We’re going to crank our So Cal hospitality “all the way up!”
The social gatherings will present an opportunity to talk with Harbor 20 sailors from our fleet and outside of our fleet. Who knows? You may get an invite to their fleet to participate in one of their events.
The bottom line, there is no better way to improve as sailor, than participating in events like this.
Don’t miss out!
Enter now! A late entry fee kicks in on February 7!
