A Printed Class Roster
This year, we will print and mail a Class Roster to all Harbor 20 Class members. We’ve had lots of requests to provide a printed little book, in addition to the website data.
The Roster will be based on the website database information as of January 31, 2015. It’s very important that everyone log into the website and check their data to make sure it’s accurate, and as complete as you want to make it. We provide the opportunity to have Significant Other names and email addresses. But please check and update the information NOW, when you’ve been reminded. Because of the numbers of members, and the amount of data involved, we simply can’t chase each member individually for the update.
To log into the website, enter your username and password in the login form on the right side of the website. If you can’t remember your password, use the “Forgot” link and it will email you a new password.
If you don’t know your username, try using your FirstName and LastName, with no space: like this: NikFroehlich. If you just can’t login, email webmaster@harbor20.org for help.
Once logged in, you can also see your membership status on the right. If your membership is due to expires prior to March 1, 2015, please use the Membership Renewal menu under Members and renew your membership so that you are included in the printed roster.
We hope you’ll like the printed roster! It’s only as wonderful as all the information provided…

Two High Points Remaining
[Updated on January 10th]
Division B sailors, there are only two High Point races remaining until the expiration of the “repartitioning” of the Divisions about a year ago. Read about the Repartitioning here and here.
The Divisions Page shows the current A and B qualifying skippers and their expiration dates. Those in the B Division with “Fleet Partitioning” as their qualifying event, must re-qualify prior to February 16th. There are two High Point events which allow for re-qualificaiton.
Those B skippers who do not re-qualify must sail the Mid-Winters in C Division, or petition the board for B Division qualification.
This Sunday is the NHYC Winter Series #3, and it is a High Point Event. The next High Point is the BYC Sunkist Series #4 on February 7th.
