Class Bylaws Updated
The class board of directors is working to keep our boats one-design with fair competition for all sailors. We are making a series of bylaw updates to specify the Harbor 20 more precisely. The latest updates include specs for:
- Keel bulb (bylaw III.B.2.f)
- Rudder (bylaw III.B.2.g)
- Mast and boom (bylaws III.B.2.i/j)
- Mast rake (bylaw III.B.2.n) [Note: Fleet 5 has set a limit on rake, but other fleets haven’t yet.]
These updates are NOT intended to put any existing unmodified boat out of compliance. Their purpose is to ensure that modifications to boats maintain the one-design character of the Harbor 20.
