2025 H20 National Championship – March 20-22, NHYC

Class Items, Fleet 1, Fleet 2, Fleet 3, Fleet 4, Fleet 5, Fleet 6, Fleet 7, Fleet 8, Fleet 9, News

The Harbor 20 National Class Championship is not held every year. This year, Newport Harbor Yacht Club will be hosting the event and we hope to have great participation from outside our fleet.

For those of you questioning whether this event is for you, please consider the following:

The entered skippers will sail 6 races to determine which fleet they will placed into; Gold or Silver.  There is no level of experience necessary to enter and sail in this event. It’s a fabulous learning opportunity!

Don’t be intimidated. Everyone will be on their best behavior.

The social events are open to all sailors and non-sailors (non-sailors will pay a fee for participation in the events and the dinner). We’re going to crank our So Cal hospitality “all the way up!”

The social gatherings will present an opportunity to talk with Harbor 20 sailors from our fleet and outside of our fleet. Who knows? You may get an invite to their fleet to participate in one of their events.

The bottom line, there is no better way to improve as sailor, than participating in events like this.

Don’t miss out!

Enter now! A late entry fee kicks in on February 7!

Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing for 2025-2028, Sunday January 12, BCYC

Fleet 1

EVERYONE WELCOME – H20, other one designs, PHRF sailors

Whether you are just learning the racing rules or are already an expert racer, this seminar will improve and update your understanding of the complex rules of our sport. This course covers all the rules which govern the behavior of boats in close proximity when starting, meeting, encountering obstructions, rounding marks, and finishing. Animated PowerPoint, whiteboards with magnetic boats, and videos bring the rules to life! Includes continental breakfast, lunch, course materials., and a raffle ticket. Great for skipper and crew because two heads are better than one!

Sunday, January 12

Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club

8:15  Registration / Continental Breakfast

9:00 Seminar begins

12:00 Lunch

5:00 Seminar ends

Register early and save money!

$140.00 if registered before January 8

$165.00 if registered after January 8

Click here to register.

You will notice that there is an option to order a course book printed on color. As there is always a right-of-way boat and a keep clear boat for every pair, right-of-way can change instantaneously, and sometimes a boat racing is an obstruction to other boats that are racing, showing these in different colors really helps makes the examples clear. And they are quite stunning! They are also very expensive which is why they are offered as an option.

Also, SAVE THE DATE: A companion on-the water clinic will he held Lido Isle Yacht Club on Saturday, January 25.
