Nicely done. What is the red line running parallel to the boom?

The lines parallel to the boom are Cunningham (red) boom vang (black). They are simply there to easy release when I'm shorthanded on my boat.

Less than a week away.  One of the largest sailing events on the West Coast, the Three Bridge Fiasco already has 260 boats registered, including three U20s.  Sportboats, when the wind conditions are right, have a great opportunity to win or score in the top 10%.  You can still register but do it quickly.  Weather conditions should be typical for mid winter racing on the Bay, cool and moderate winds--strong currents.  Always makes for an interesting choice on which way to go around the three bridges.

The Richmond Yacht Club is excited to host the U20 North Americans.   We are pleased to have Ian McClelland as our PRO. He has served as a race official for high-level events in San Francisco Bay, South Florida, and Panama events involving a variety of boats including dinghies, multihulls, kite boards, and small to large keelboats.  In addition to his role as a certified Principal Race Officer (PRO), Ian McClelland is a recognized expert in race management who provides training for race committees and safety personnel.  He promises a well run and fair regatta to all of our participants.

The Club will supplement the RC with its members, but we also look to participants who may have family members, friends, and even spare crew that would like to witness the race "on the water" and cheer you along.  The list for volunteering for the event can be found at this link or contact Mike Josselyn if you are interested.  You get to see the racing close up, get a free lunch, beer after the race, and an opportunity to hear from all the participants on how they sailed.

Park City Sailing Association
August 29th and 30th.

For those traveling from out of town, if there is sufficient interest we will arrange racing on Friday.  Our club has a U20 One Design Race Start on Thursday night.   We regularly have 10 boats on the line and most of the local owners are committed to the regatta.

Camping and cabins are available at the lake but do fill quickly: https://utahstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/jordanelle-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=UT&parkId=342471

Other accommodations are easy to find near by in Deer Valley East, Heber and Park City.

Message if you have any questions.

Excellent summer recreation opportunities with a lot of mountain biking and hiking fun to be had.

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).

https://www.u20class.org/#ClassOrganization

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!
