Friday Night Starts
Friday Night Starts is back, beginning this Friday, May 11. Meet at 5:30 P.M. on the NHYC main dock for a brief orientation and then sail out to somewhere in the Harbor for about an hour of practice starts with a few very short windward/leeward mark roundings thrown in. The practice will be supervised and video-taped by Coach Reid Vitterelli. When we are all sufficiently dizzy, we will meet once again at NHYC to watch the tape with critical commentary from Reid. Refreshments, including Ritz Burgers, will be served (bring some money). Should be done by 8:30 P.M., maybe later.
Friday Night Starts will continue through May 25. Open to all levels of experience and skill. Hosted by Fleet Captain John Whitney.
Asymmetrical spinnaker help
Would someone who flies the asymmetrical spinnaker for the Harbor 20 kindly post details on the setup and workings of the sprit pole and accompanying housing. I have just purchased the hardware from W. D. Schock but there is little in the way of instructions on installation.
Thanks,

Harbor 20, Fleet 5, Cinco de Mayo Event
We had 9 H20 owners and 4 boats at the Cinco de Mayo party, some came by car
and a total of 26 people for lunch. The costumes made it special too. Jim
Ellis and Fulvia diMarzo won the awards for best costume. Big thanks to Pat
and Howard for being fantastic hosts. The new pilings made for a great H20
fleet marina so I hope we get invited back some day. Everything including
the wind was perfect.
I am organizing another social sailing event in September when we will sail
from Annapolis up the Severn River and dock on Luce Creek for lunch. It
will be hard to top Cinco de Mayo, but I will do my best.
Best,
Peter Trogdon

Strategy & Tactics Seminar – Saturday, June 9, 2012
Harbor-20 Fleet 5 Newsletter No. 5
For Sale – 2002 Harbor 20 #146 + FREE Slip*
Sold!
Newport Beach, CA
Cockpit cushions, two new batteries, intelligent charger, recent new motor controller, electric auxiliary motor, canvas cockpit cover (needs some re-stitching), sails are OK but would need new for racing, running lights, automatic bilge pump, dock lines, and fenders. This boat is ready to go but shows some age and use with a few dock dings, weathered finish, etc., just the normal wear and tear of a boat that’s used with family and friends.
The boat’s builder, WD Schock, has a refurbishing program where they make the boat like new. For a few grand you could have a Bristol example, any color, any name, and ready to race.. Or just knock about in it as is like we do – she works great!
*The boat can stay at its dock on Balboa Peninsula Point for some time rent free; details to be arranged at time of sale.
Price: $12,500 or best offer

Reminder: C-Fleet Clinic, Saturday, April 14, 1-5 PM at LIYC
You’ve seen them out there, all those Harbor 20’s racing about Newport Harbor. Have you ever contemplated competing in your Harbor 20, but just don’t know how to get started? Jumping in to the existing B-Fleet can be intimidating because the fleet is pretty big. But, as of the 2011-2012 racing season, there is now a C-Fleet in Newport Harbor. The C-Fleet offers an introductory experience to sailing a Harbor 20, whether your interest lies in racing or not. Even if you have no interest in racing your Harbor 20, trying a bit of racing helps develop boat handling and seamanship skills faster than any other learning activity.
Imagine yourself enjoying your Harbor 20 like these Harbor 20 sailors!

In the C-Fleet, you can get lots of help! Fleet 1 has a “mentor” program whereby experienced sailors go with you on your boat, either while racing or not. And, the fleet periodically offers C-Fleet Clinics – and the next one is coming up on Saturday, April 14, 1-5 PM at Lido Isle Yacht Club. C-Fleet clinics emphasize introductory boat handling, seamanship, and FUN! Mentors will be avaialble to sail with you if you like. The cost is $25.00 per person, and includes pizza and cold refreshments.
