Hey Philip,

We will likely do a regatta in June with at least 10 U20's.  Love to have you or any of the Montana boats join!

Also hope you can make the championship in October.  San Francisco Bay. Should be great fall conditions.

Add your 2026 Regattas to this thread so others can find them easily.

For those looking for activity near them the U20 Class has heavy concentrations of activity in these locations that you should regularly check if they are close to you.

Will consider delivery based on price and distance

Inventory:
Set of Doyle sails (main, jib, spinnaker) all in good racing shape. Main and spinnakerlightly used. Jib sailed regularly for 2 summers.
Older set of Doyle sails – good for casual sailing but not racing

Rigging:
Two sets of running rigging – one of each size allowed by the class rules
Mast replaced shortly before I purchased in 2016 – that is when the heavier runningrigging was put on the boat
All racing rigging a racer would expect to be on the boat
All sheets except the main sheet have been replaced by me. The spinnaker halyard has been replaced by me.
Quick adjusting side stays so they can be adjusted under sail

Cockpit top and sides were rebuilt in 2025. The lining on the interior was removed, the original core was removed, new core installed, lining replaced, lining faired and lining painted. Also, the same work was performed under the starboard end of the traveler.
