We hope you all are all well. It’s been a trying year. While some of us have been able to sail in local races, many other events, including our 2020 North Americans, were cancelled.
In spite of the slower sailing schedule the U20 Board has been busy discussing and dealing with Class business.
To that end we have scheduled an annual - virtual- Class meeting. There are several interesting subjects on the agenda. We would love to have you all there via Zoom on December 17 at 8:00 pm EST.
Zoom meeting details have been sent via e-mail to current class members. Contact U20webmaster@gmail.com if you did not receive the zoom meeting and are a current class member.
Among the subjects to be discussed are - updates and options on the Class boat molds; update and discussion on Tartan and other builder options; refreshing the Class with new mainsail design; update to the U20 website; preliminary slate of Officers for 2021-2022; and the 2021 North American venue.
