U20 Regattas - Where, When & Who's Going! / Re: 2024 Northern California Season Championship---Matt Boroughf Trophy

« Last post by Mike Josselyn on August 26, 2024, 10:51:40 PM »

The calendar has two more events scheduled for the Season Championship:  the Pacific Coast Championships to be held in the end of September in Park City and the Great Pumpkin to be held in the end of October at the Richmond Yacht Club.  The High Sierra and the Nationals at Huntington Lake were well attended and the competition was stiff at all levels.  Of the teams currently qualified for the Season Championship (7 event points or more), Team Peabody is in the lead at 78.3% (High Point Score) with Team Udecide at 66.7%, Team Hard Drive at third at 65.5%, and Team Uhoo! trailing at 46.2%  However, the remaining events offer other boats at chance for trophy eligibility with the PCCs counting as two event points and GP as 1 point.  If you have any questions on where your team stands, contact me and I can fill you in.  Good luck!

U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Vang/Cunningham Mast Fasteners Loose - Pictures Added

« Last post by John Lee on August 12, 2024, 05:31:20 PM »

I noticed the screws that go into the Mast for both the vang and cunningham attachments are loose and won't tighten.

What is the nature of the female threads for these fasteners? Are there nuts or a slug inside the mast that need to be held while tightening?

U20 General Discussion / North Sails buys Doyle and Quantum Sails

« Last post by Josh Jones on August 02, 2024, 05:50:21 PM »

Interesting, especially considering that Robbie Doyle got his start because North and Hood would not make sails for the Ted Turner Courageous campaign, or so it was told in the Ted Turner documentary Courageous.

I wonder what Robbie Doyle has to say about this! hah

U20 Regattas - Where, When & Who's Going! / 2024 North Americans at Huntington Lake Report

« Last post by Steve Shaw on August 01, 2024, 02:49:26 PM »

The 2024 Ultimate 20 North American Championships were held at picturesque Huntington Lake in California. 
With the ever popular High Sierra regatta held the two days prior to the Championship, it was the perfect time to get familiar with the nuances of the lake.  Blessed with ideal sailing conditions of warm temperatures, fresh water and 8-12 knots of breeze on flat water proved to be just what #29 Steve Shaw, Tim Porter and Jeff Linton needed to win both regattas. 
The High Sierra was hotly contested with Ken Nelson and crew aboard Steve’s old boat #20 exchanging 1st and 2nd place finishes only to end in a tie breaker. 
The stage was set for the North Americans in the following days and the rivalry continued atop the fleet.  Lessons learned from the weekend regatta were held over to the Championship and the team from Shapes Of Speed #29 proved virtually unbeatable winning 5 of the 7 races they competed in.  Ken Nelson #20 won the remaining races and was second for the regatta followed by Travis Gregory #222 and Donna Womble #22 only separated by the one point that came in a virtual tie at the finish line of a race. (see attached)
Congrats to all who sailed and hopefully some West coast boats can make the trip across country next year for what should be the largest attended North American Championship in class history at Lake Norman, NC.

U20 General Discussion / Re: Outboard HP size and bracket max weight

« Last post by Gregg Henning on July 19, 2024, 03:25:06 PM »

I have used a 5HP Nissan 2 Stroke on the bracket.  I do tie it forward to give extra support as it has a lot of torque.  It can plane the boat at 9 knots.
