2019 United States Sunfish Class Association Regatta Schedule

Home , Beaufort (dinghy), Buccaneer 18, C Scow, Force 5, Gull (dinghy), Hobie Wave

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.

United States Sunfish Class Association Notice

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFICATION FOR THE UNITED STATES The following sailors automatically qualify for the next calendar year ISCA World Championship from the United States:

• The top seven (7) US finishers in the USSCA North American Championship. • The top US finisher in the USSCA Youth North American Championship. • The top US finisher in the USSCA Women's North American Championship. • The top US finisher in the USSCA Master's Championship. • The top four (4) US finishers from the USSCA National Championship at Midwinters. • The top one (1), two (2) or three (3) finishers in each of the USSCA Region Championships.

* Depending on each region's allotment, one, two or three sailors qualify annually. Regions allotted two or three positions may hold two or three Region Championships with the top sailor from each qualifying or one from which all berths would be allotted. A total of sixteen (16) sailors will qualify from Region Championships.

Should a World qualifier be unable to attend, that place will be filled from the alternates list in descending order of finish at a qualifying regatta. No alternate will be chosen from a Region Championship if it becomes necessary to go below 10th place. No alternate will be chosen from a Midwinter, Womens NA’s or Masters Championship if it becomes necessary to go below tenth place. The qualifying position from any of these events will revert to the North American Championship, except that no qualifying position will be taken if it becomes necessary to go below 30th place.

If a sailor qualifies in two (2) events, the event that took place first shall take precedence.

Sailors may race in any or all Regional Championships and may qualify in any region. This gives USSCA members throughout the U.S. sixteen (16) or more chances to qualify for the World Championship.

All USSCA qualifiers must be members of USSCA in the year they qualify, i.e., all USSCA qualifiers must have been USSCA members in the previous year and must be current members of USSCA to be eligible to race in a World Championship event.

If all USSCA places are not filled, alternates will be selected from an alternates list based on a sailor’s finish in a qualifying event. A list of alternates will be made using those sailors finishing in the top 10 at a Regional, the top ten at Midwinters, Women NA’s or Masters championship not previously receiving a World’s bid. If all remaining USSCA places are not filled from the list of alternates, those places may be filled from a pool of "at large" applicants who did not qualify though the process outlined above. Any sailor interested in applying for an at large spot must complete an online registration for the World Championship and submit their sailing resumé to the Class Office. Preference will be given to those sailors who were class members in the prior year and participated in at least one qualifying event. Applicants are encouraged to enter as early as possible. Entries can be completed at www.sunfishclass.org/worlds.

USSCA NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP All current members of the ISCA are eligible to sail in the Qualification Series of the North American Championship if a Qualification Series is held.

All former and current ISCA World Champions and USSCA North American Champions are eligible to sail in the Championship Series without having to sail in the Qualification Series at the USSCA North Americans Championship if a Qualification Series is held. Any Champion who elects to sail in the Qualification Series will be counted toward qualifiers if a Qualification Series is held. This applies to the senior division only.

Any sailor who is a current member of ISCA may compete in the USSCA North American Championship.

USSCA YOUTH NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP The USSCA Youth North American Championship is sailed concurrently with the Qualification Series at the North American Championship if a Qualification Series is held. All current members of ISCA who will not attain the age of 19 by the end of the calendar year in which the regatta occurs may compete. All current members of ISCA who will not attain the age of 19 by the end of the calendar year in which the regatta occurs may compete for the Youth Championship. All current members of ISCA Who will not attain the age of 15 by the end of the calendar year in which the regatta occurs may compete for the Junior Championship. If sailing with a crew, or in a Youth Doubles Championship, both shall be Youth as defined above. The top five (5) finishers are qualified to compete in the North American Championship if a Qualification Series is held.

USSCA REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Any registered USSCA member may compete in any Regional Championship throughout the country. Sailors competing in the USSCA Regional Championships must be current members of USSCA/ISCA. Proof of membership will be required.

Chevrons shall be applied to the sail centered below the sail numbers with the chevron apex up. Additional chevrons shall be located below the first. See Class Rules for placement of chevrons.

HOSTING WORLD QUALIFYING EVENTS Organizations seeking to host World Qualifying Events should submit to the USSCA Regatta Coordinator and their Region Representative or the appropriate USSCA Event Coordinator a request by June of the year preceding the event. It is the Class’ intention to have dates established at least a year prior to the scheduled date so that other Clubs and Fleets can adjust their schedules and regattas to permit sailors to participate in these events. Please work closely with the USSCA Regatta Coordinator or the appropriate USSCA Event Coordinator when setting dates for your event.
