2019 United States Sunfish Class Association Regatta Schedule Welcome to the return of a comprehensive Sunfish Class schedule booklet. If you know of an event, no matter if big or small, we want it included in here annually. River Races. Clinics. Junior Regattas. Regular Regattas. Fleet Series. Region Championships—we need hosts for 2020. We want the sites and dates for 2020 Region Championships confirmed NO LATER than December 15, 2019. For some Regions this is a big change; we’ve got all year to adjust and get just dates and hosts set. We need bids for the 2020 North American Championship. They are due as soon as possible. The host is intended to be announced at the 2019 Sunfish North American Championships at James Island Yacht Club in Charleston, SC in June. We need bids for the 2020 Womens North American Championship. They are due as soon as possible. Contact the Womens Coordinator. The host is intended to be announced at the 2019 Sunfish North American Championships at James Island Yacht Club in Charleston, SC in June. Many will be happy to learn the 2020 World Masters is returning to Florida in the late winter. A tentative host is in place, as is for the 2020 Midwinters which will be completely free of any Pan American Games involvement. The event host bid forms are being updated and will be posted to the web site soon. Each major event will have its own. Please contact me for further information. Did your event miss out this time? We contacted all Class members from 2012-2019 that we have email addresses for, Fleet Captains from the last updated list that was about 10 years old, as many event Chairs from 2018 as we could harvest, had an announcement in the January Windward Leg e-newsletter, announcements on Facebook, and had our Region Representatives working to reach out to our fleets, trying to include as many as possible. If we missed you, we apologize. Please send your event name, date(s), host site with location address, organization web page URL, brief description of your plans, and contact person with phone and email address to me at [email protected] and to the Class Office at [email protected]. If there is information you believe should be in this booklet and is not included, please let me know (again, [email protected]). This PDF printable Sunfish Class Regatta Schedule will be published once a year. It is likely more events will be submitted to the Class, so be sure to check the web site schedule from time to time for updates (https://www.sunfishclass.org/regattas/2019-regattas/01/2019/January/01). Work for the 2020 Sunfish Class Schedule is underway. Deadline for the 2020 booklet is February 28, 2020. Work to have your group pick your event dates and get them submitted. Every last detail does not have to be in place. We intend to include all NSCA events in 2020. Send them to [email protected] and [email protected]. Thank you! Please forward your knowledge of this new schedule booklet to anyone you know who has raced Sunfish: by email, postcard, phone, Facebook, Twitter, smoke signal, anything! Our Board knows there are thousands of people sailing and racing Sunfish and we know they all want to have bigger participation at their events. Working together, we can make it happen! Can’t wait to see you on the water. Gail M.
