Fleet 4 is excited to be the host for this year’s Harbor 20 North-South Challenge on July 21-23. We are looking forward to having you come and enjoy beautiful Santa Barbara and have some fun sailing Harbor 20s (or as we like to call them – Ocean 20s) with spinnakers.

Twelve boats with 24 racers, divided equally between the North and South teams, will compete in races over two days (July 22nd and 23rd) after a practice day on July 21. This event will be sailed as part of the SBYC Fiesta Cup. There will be other classes racing with us.

Boats will be assigned by random draw at the Skipper’s Meetings before each day of racing. Skippers and crews will rotate boats, which means that the boats used by one team on day one will be randomly assigned to the other team for day two racing and vice versa. Each competing boat will have an owner’s representative on board in addition to the two racers.

• Friday – July 21st

2 – 5:30 pm – On-shore spinnaker clinic, practice sail and practice races

6 pm – Welcome Dock Party hosted by Al Salzer at the SB Harbor (dinner and drinks)

• Saturday – July 22nd
