Hello Sailors:
Unfortunately, the NHYC June Twilight races have been cancelled for this evening. The current active dredging operation is heavily impacting our racing area. We have talked to the dredging company and based on the information at hand, have had to make the difficult decision to cancel racing for tonight.
Thanks for your understanding and hope to see you next week.
Sincerely,
Jenn Lancaster
NHYC Race Director
“Friday Night Flip Flops at LIYC AS” – What’s That??? Well, Friday nights during the summer season, Lido Isle Yacht Club hosts “Adult Sailing”, and Harbor 20’s are invited. And this month, we are doing something a little different, a “Flip Flop”, that is, crew in the back of the boat, and skipper in the front. We have done this in past year’s, and have found that there is alot of benefit to be had by changing perspective – and it is alot of fun! This is just a suggestion, and not mandatory.
Friday Night Adult sailing starts on June 8. After sailing there is dinner in conjunction with the Lido Isle Community Center BBQ, where there are usually one or two H20 tables reserved. On June 8, there will be a hosted Burger Bash. On subsequent Fridays it is a “bring your own meat/foul/fish” to BBQ, and hors d’oeuvres, salads, bread, etc, are provided. Cost is about $16.00. Drinks are available as well. BBQ-ing on the patio is fun!
There are usually two races, started using Racing Rule 26, with the Warning at 3 minutes instead of 5. There is usually a Lazer class as well, and starts are “rolling”, so watch the flags! The race is officiated from the tower (like BYC) and the line is usually 2 buoys situated in line with the tower.
So, this summer season, come and enjoy really fun casual evenings on Friday nights at LIYC. You’ll be glad you did!

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.
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,

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
