2. Old minutes were approved.
3. Geoff reported no changes…..treasury balance is $3247.40.
4. Geoff reported on Association/National level:
   1. There is a new legal issue ongoing perhaps to be resolved soon (details omitted purposely).
   1. Whether or not to have the East-West Challenge is being decided on the 18^th in Newport Beach.
   1. The Class Championship was canceled in May, but it is being planned for 2021 in May in Annapolis, concurrent with a keelboat regatta there.
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

Kevin Cahill	Thu, Jul 16, 4:36 PM
To: me [JJ], Lee, Geoffrey, Morgan, Rich

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!
