U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Re: Mast-up boat cover vendor?

All, the LNYC fleet as researched a new mast up cover builder with and without side skirts.

The cost of the cover at the time of this post is below.  I have also included the vendor contact information (Kinder Industries).   

Thanks to U20 Owner John Ketner for the footwork to find this vendor.

U20 skirted.  $1875 + $125 Gore Tex Thread = $2,000
U20 non-skirted.  $1500 + $125 Gore Tex Thread = $1,625

Plus shipping


sales@kinderindustries.com
kinderindustries.com

One thing of note about the Kinder cover, owners have found that the back section that zips up isn't wide enough.  Paul DiMarco has designed a zippered spacer (zipper on two sides) to make it wider for sale, but if someone orders a new cover it will probably be worth it to have Kinder update their design.

Edit: I guess maybe this has been fixed on newer covers, but still worth a note if you are ordering a new one.

U20 General Discussion / Boat Covers for Trailering / Mooring

« Last post by Steve MacKay on April 17, 2025, 06:29:20 PM »

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a boat cover?  We ordered one from Sailors' Tailor in November for winter storage but with it being April now I'm not confident we will see it before the start of next winter.

We're looking for a U20 cover mainly for winter storage and for towing to events.  If it also worked with the mast up for weekly storage it would eliminate our bungee tarpaulin dance we have to do every week (I'm surprised none of us have lost an eye).

Cheers,

U20 General Discussion / NEW SAILS-FLEET ORDER through 4/23

« Last post by Steve Shaw on April 16, 2025, 04:35:48 PM »

Sailing season is upon us and now is the time to get up to speed.  In order to combat the impending tariffs that cloth manufacturers are planning on, Ullman Sails is offering this very brief opportunity to order new sails now at current prices.  Even with this news, Ullman Sails Newport Beach will still honor an additional 5% discount per sail with an additional 2% discount for non credit card transactions. 
The current sail designs have proven unbeatable on the racecourse and if you’ve ever wanted the newest, fastest sails; now’s your chance to save yourself money down the road!
This offer will only be extended through April 23, 2025.  Delivery times will be mid to late summer and in time for the North American Championships in Lake Norman, NC.
Contact Steve Shaw for details.”

Hmm, should have put thought in.  Upscaled now.

Thanks.

Someone just needs to upscale it and fill in the missing bits, I might do it later, but if it's really urgent to you, you could probably find someone on FIVR to do it for small change.

I would guess any mom-and-pop T Shirt print shop could do it for you as well.

U20 General Discussion / Hi Res Image

« Last post by Mike Silverton on April 09, 2025, 07:27:36 PM »

A while back I was looking for a Hi Res picture (see attached) of the U20.  I believe it was Gregg who passed me on to his contacts where he had an image on file for making prints on clothing.  Long story short, to have them printed there with the shipping and exchange (CDN) was cost prohibitive.

So I am asking again, does anyone have a Hi Res pic they can share so I can have it printed on some shirts?

Thanks, Mike

U20 Regattas - Where, When & Who's Going! / Re: Racing in ARKANSAS? Huh??

Well, it's time to head to Razorback Ridge and race the sportboats of Little Rock.  Unbelievable looks like fair weather after last weeks floods and tornadoes along the I30 corridor.
