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.
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!

Following are the deadlines for obtaining a Weight Certification from the Fleet 1 Measurer:
A Division: April 1, 2016 (already past)
B Division: June 1, 2016
C Division: September 1, 2016
If your boat is not Weight Certified by one of these dates, you will not be scored in Class Races until it is Weight Certified.
There are only two free weight certification in dates remaining. There are lots of open time left on both dates. Sign up for any available time on either day.
If a boat weighs less than 1950lb it could take a second weighing after the weight are installed to be certified, so plan accordingly.
If your boat has not completed the weight certification process by attending either or both of the remaining dates, you must pay $200 and make an appointment to have your boat weighed and certified.
Complete details on the Weight Certification can be found on the Boat Certification page under the Fleet 1 menu, or clicking here.
