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. So, this year at our Summer Party there will be a great opportunity to get started. We will be offering an introductory clinic and a C-Fleet start in addition to the A and B Fleets. If you are totally new to racing, rusty after years of having not competed, struggling in the B-Fleet, or confused as to the rules, I would like invite you to join us on the docks at 1:00, when I will provide an overview of the basics of starting, sailing the course, rounding the marks, and the fundamental rules. The starting line is close to the docks, so at 2:00 we will watch the A and B Fleet starts before heading out for a C-Fleet start, avoiding the congestion and learning from the actions of the other fleets. This will be very informal and low key, so come on! Come give it a try. Imagine yourself enjoying your Harbor 20 like these Harbor 20 sailors!

Under perfect conditions the Santa Barbara Harbor 20 fleet enjoyed 12 to 15 knots of wind with flat seas in a very exciting 5-race regatta.
Sharon Green of Ultimate Sailing fame was on hand to snap some of the best pictures I’ve seen of the Harbor 20 Fleet. Click here to view the album.
The race committee ran 4 windward –leeward races with one race that had a reaching leg. The 11-boat fleet was very tightly matched. Ken Kieding aboard “Holly Harbor”, Scott Deardorff on “Fling”, and Al Salzer aboard Fleur de Lis finished one, two three respectively.
Awards where given out and the fleet enjoyed a great potluck on the sand next to the club.

Nearly perfect conditions greeted the Harbor 20’s for their second ocean race regatta: Calm seas, good wind, sunny and warm. South Shore Yacht Club provided race committee and a custom Windward/Leeward course after the yachts of the Crew of Two and Double Dash races left the starting line.
Seven Harbor 20s raced four races each at about 25 minutes long. Tom & Jane Schock dominated the first position with three 1st and a 2nd place finish giving them the overall 1st place with 5 points.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions were hotly contested, separated only by a few points:
2nd Place: Karl & Cole Pomeroy (2nd, 4th, 4th, 3rd)
3rd Place: John Whitney & Phil Ramser (4th, 5th, 2nd, 4th)
4th Place: Nik Froehlich & Greg Hawkins (5th, 3rd, 6th, 2nd)
5th Place: Rolly Pulaski & Anne (3rd, 6th, 3rd, 5th)
6th Place: Matt Campbell & Crew
7th Place: Barbara Jones & Crew

The Harbor 20s of Marina Del Rey battled again in the Friday evening Sundown series. The Sundown series is hosted by Del Rey Yacht Club and it consists of 3 divisions: PHRF, Cruising Class, and Harbor 20 One Design.
The Harbor 20s raced in healthy breeze on a 4 1/2 mile course which took them outside the Marina. Ed Golden driving ‘Marisa’ was able to fend off Jeff Friedman and his 2 daughters in ‘Sparky’ for the bullet. Ed and Jeff traded tacks up the channel, with the lead changing hands numerous times. Ed finally consolidated a lead when the boats went outside. The characteristic sloppy chop outside Marina Del Rey provided the opportunity for Harbor 20 surfing on the rollers.
Interestingly, both of the leading Harbor 20s sailed faster than many of the big cruising boats in the division ahead. Ed and Jeff sailed the course in 51 minutes 43 seconds and 51:59 seconds respectively. This was boat for boat faster than 5 of the boats in the division ahead. They even sailed the course faster than a 33 footer ! The plucky little Harbor 20s showed their stuff in Marina Del Rey last Friday and will be back for the next Sundown race on August 19th.
Planned Area of the Course
Based on the success of the first Harbor 20 Fleet 1 Ocean Race (read about it here), another Ocean race has been scheduled for the Harbor 20s Fleet 1.
The Harbor 20 races will be held along with the Crew of Two and Double Dash races on Saturday, July 23rd. The Harbor 20’s will have their own start at 1300 hours. There are 2-4 short windward / leeward races scheduled and awards at 1800 at the SSYC clubhouse along with the Double Dash awards.
A & B’s will be combined into one class for this regatta. Between 2-4 races are planned.
The cost is $20 (does not include the tee-shirt advertised in the online registration).

Ocean racing in a Harbor 20 requires extra precautions and experience, especially if winds are strong or if there are large swells. The race will be cancelled if conditions warrant. Beginners are advised to have experienced crew if they plan on participating. Only Harbor 20s with positive floatation are recommended. A “assist boat” will be on the course following the fleet at all times to offer assistance. It is recommended all participants bring a portable VHF radio for communications with the RC and Assist Boat.
For those looking to master sailing on their Harbor 20 and improve their race results, this “Dock Talk” presented by Mr. Tom Schock, will offer helpful tips that will increase speed and handling capabilities.
