This year, the BCYC Hot Rum Series has been scheduled so as to not conflict with either the NHYC Winter Series, or the BYC Sunkist Series. Race days are November 20, December 11, and January 22. BCYC will also be running a separate H20 venue with windward/leeward racing – just like Taco Tuesdays! And, you know they throw a great after party! To register, click here.

The Fleet 1 (Newport Beach, CA) sail purchase window for purchasing a new main or new jib will close in 2 weeks, November 30th.  This is your only opportunity to order a new sail until after the Championship Regatta in 2017.

Details on the purchase window are available on this previous post.

Don’t forget that Sunkist Series race #1 this Saturday is also the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Regatta. To participate in this charity event, you need to register separately. Click here to register. It would be excellent to see a great H20 turnout for the CHOC! You can also participate in both the raffle and the silent auction. The event actually starts tonight with a Happy Hour and Live Music…

AOCYC announces the inaugural Fall Finale Regatta, with special starts and races for the Harbor 20 Class.  Saturday, November 12th. Click on image for more information, NORs and sign up.
