Annoucements from the President / Potential Jib Sail Material Rule Change
« Last post by Travis Gregory on Today at 03:10:46 AM »
Class members,

At the class meeting on November 4th  we will discuss the proposal to change the jib sail material restriction.  Our intent Wednesday is to discuss the attached rule change and provide perspectives from several sailmakers who will join our meeting to share their experiences and answer questions.

Following the meeting a ballot will be issued to the class for a vote on the proposal per the class rules.

Feel free to post any questions you may have in advance here. We will do our best to attempt to answer them on the 4th.

Thanks

U20 Regattas - Where, When & Who's Going! / Re: 2026 California Seasonal Champions
« Last post by Mike Josselyn on October 25, 2026, 09:50:12 PM »
The 2026 Racing season for U20s included 11 scored events in California and Utah and required a minimum of 7 entry points to be eligible for the Matt Boroughf Perpetual Trophy.  Phil Kanegsburg. Denise Hammond and Shawn McCabe on Udecide earned the title again this year.  Their score using the High Point Percentage System was 70.2 percent  They may not have been a winner in all of the events, but they were consistently on the podium against 12 other teams that earned at least three entry points.  Congratulations to their third season championship!   Michael Eisenberg on Toon Town was second (61.1 percent) and Mike Josselyn on Uhoo! was third (46 percent).

U20 General Discussion / Re: U20 Insurance question
« Last post by U20 Site Moderator on October 10, 2026, 03:03:04 PM »
Hi John, I use Allstate.  There is an interesting thread on the Moore24 Discord server about insurance.  Some important things to review:

  • Coverage for the true replacement value vs property tax value of the boat
  • Making sure, mast and sails have coverage
  • Variation on bodies of water.  Not a problem for many as we are based on lakes but something to consider if you're on the coast

Congratulations Donna Womble,  Brian Hoover and Callie Jepsen on their first place win at the championship this weekend.  John & Jennifer Andrew & Gordon in second and Claudio Brasca, Brady Lofthouse and Martin Frey in third.    We had a lighter wind bay experience than usual and Donna's crew sailed a flawless third day to lock up the wind. Donna has been a long time member of the class, is the first Woman to win the U20 Championship and will be our Class President in 2027!   Thanks again to Richmond Yacht Club and Regatta Chair Mike Joselyn for another first class event.  RYC and SF Bay lived up to their reputation as a world class sailing venue.

Even if you can’t attend, this apparel is for all who sail or want to sail a U20.

Will typical short sleeve t-shirts in colors like red, blue, grey, white, etc be available?

U20 General Discussion / U20 Insurance question
« Last post by John Andrew2 on September 16, 2026, 11:22:05 PM »
Has anybody checked their policy recently to see if it covers spar replacement in the case of a wind only failure? I've recently begun checking into this and both Progressive and Geico say they will only cover a spar failure if it's part of an "occurrence" (aka collision) they both say they won't cover a spar that just fails while sailing. Has anybody got any recommendations on this? this is the first I've heard of this approach from an insurance company. My agent, who insures lots of racing boats said this is the way the insurance companies get around paying for a broken spar. And what's the cost of a new carbon spar these days? Just curious... Thanks
