U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Re: Dyform Rigging

« Last post by Steve Shaw on December 22, 2024, 05:43:05 PM »

I can get compacted strand (dyform) rigging made.  Need specific lengths in order to work with your turnbuckles.  Unlike some who have gotten shrouds made without reading the rules, Dyform rigging is only allowed to be 4mm wire.

Recommendation for cockpit organizer?  Looking for maximum size in one bag with three pockets.  I saw a nice pair of Good Vibe brand, but cannot find a retailer.

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

Yup.  Little Rock has more than Clinton Library and Razorbacks.  Cool lowkey open regatta with a lake full of sportboats.  Cheap as dirt too.

U20 Regattas - Where, When & Who's Going! / Sailing World NOODs 2025

« Last post by Philip Davis on November 23, 2024, 04:12:23 AM »

I note with interest Sailing World is hosting two regattas in Detroit and Chicago back to back first two weekends in June.  Looks like SIs would allow U20 to join as one design if we can muster 8 boats.  Optional PHRF fleet otherwise in Detroit, but Chicago maybe not (minimum 25' LOA).  The Chicago rule is kind of silly since they recognize the Viper 640 and Melges 15 (not exactly "sea" worth vessels).

What say ye?  Should I stay or should I go?
