Annoucements from the President / Happy New Year 2026! Class Dues - Etc

« Last post by Travis Gregory on January 03, 2026, 06:51:39 PM »

Happy New Year Everyone! 

Please take a moment to attend to paying class dues.  It really saves Emily some time if she can batch these in January.  Membership dues are $55 and we adjusted Associate member dues for co-owners to be $25. You can Venmo Emily directly (button on the class site) or send a check. We suspended PayPal this year.   Only class members can post on the forum and we use the funds to acquire rare parts, pay for the website and other class business (NA Championship etc).

We'll have a couple of winter time zoom seminars, announcements coming soon. 

Thanks for supporting the class and keeping it strong!

Speed doesn't come from looks. 
Gelcoat and sand a bunch or VC Performance Epoxy and sand even more!

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.

California, SF Bay - See Mike J's post on the Matt Brough Trophy, also http://richmondyc.org

Michigan - Bayview Yacht Club - https://www.byc.com
Utah - Park City Sailing - https://sailpc.org

Fleets are forming in Montana, Texas and the Pacific Northwest!
