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

« Last post by Philip Davis on December 04, 2024, 01:09:06 AM »

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

I need to replace my old Schaefer  furler. Can anybody tell me their current brand and model,  if it still available to purchase new?

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

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?

Very typical early fall weather fell upon the 18 entrants at the Ultimate 20 East Coast Championships held in conjunction with the Carolina Keelboat One Design regatta held at Lake Norman Yacht Club, Nov. 9-10.  Saturdays forecast proved to ring true with 8-12 knots of breeze in the morning only tapering slightly to finish the day in 6-8 knot winds which allowed for 4 races to be completed.  It was clear as to who was going to battle it out for the top spot with BJ Jones #151 winning two of the four races and Tim Porter #21 winning the other two.  BJ Jones led going into the last race which was held Sunday morning in trying conditions. ‘Puff hunting’ all the way around the racecourse, Tim Porter, Steve Shaw and Joel Blade rounded the weather mark 5th but were able to slide by BJ and others to finish 2nd and win the tie breaker of who beat who in the last race.  Competition was fierce amongst the rest of the U20 fleet with four different positions on the leader board settled by tiebreaks!
