The Fleet 1 Measurer has scheduled a number of days to weigh boats for compliance to Class Rules regarding boat weights. Enforcement of weights will apply to A Division sailors first, followed by B Division sailors and finally C Division sailors.

The schedule for weight compliance for Fleet one is as follows:

All A Division Boats must have their weight certificate by April 1, 2016.

 

All B Division Boats must have their weight certificate by June 1, 2016.

 

All C Division Boats must have their weight certificate by September 15, 2016.

Boats will not be scored in races if they are not compliant (and have a weight certificate issued by the Fleet Measurer) by the date required.

Refer to the Class Bylaws for exact weight requirements and procedures for adding weight if necessary, specifically, sections III.C.2, and III.D.2.

Harbor 20 Members:

On December 5th, 2015, an email was sent to all active members announcing the nomination of the 2016 Class Association Board of Directors.  Due to a technical issue, many of these emails diverted into SPAM folders, therefore, many members did not see the email.  The email that was sent is displayed below.

A vote for the 2016 Class Associate Board Members will take place in about a week, and will be conducted online. All members will receive an email and a post with voting instructions will be put on the website.

Email sent to membership on December 5, 2015
