NewsHi, All Toby Hamer has stepped up to take the reins of Fleet 28 ! Toby: "I've been racing in Colorado on various boats for six summers, and last July, picked up #50 "Go-Go-Gadget". The Santana 20 is by far the most bang for the buck in one-design keel boat racing, IMO. New sails are on order and a new name is being considered (my apologies to anyone that my have owned or raced the Gadge in years past, but the name has possibly outlived its cleverness!). She'll still sport the same, super cool, fat orange stripe...and maybe some scales." "Speaking of new sails...have you thought about replacing that blown-out genoa and tatty old main? "The following deals are available: Banks - 10% off any sail - Contact Mike Wilson gnosticsailor@yahoo.com Neil Pryde - 5% off any three sails - Contact Bob Pattison bp@neilprydesails.com Ullman - 15% off any three sails - Contact Erik Shampain eshampain@ullmansails.com "As the new organizer of Fleet 28, it's my goal to help promote Santana 20 racing and fleet development in order to get more boats on the line every week and at regattas. I figure the first order of business ought to be a party! "The date is set for March 31st from 6:30PM on. We'll have the party at my place or a place somewhere close by (in the vicinity of the DTC). A formal invitation will follow. "Please plan to join old and new friends to chat about boats, sails, racing, crew opportunities, and the summer racing calendar! "SAVE THE DATE! And please pass along the invite to others who may be interested in joining the Tuna Fleet." The 2012 S20F28 Tour Championship will consist of 5 regattas: Carter, Aspen, Dillon, Colo Gov Cup and Columbus Day. Scoring will be on each boat's best 3 results. The 2012 Santana 20 Nationals will be held at the Eugene Yacht Club in Eugene, Oregon June 23-27. The Santana 20 event will follow the EYC Invitational One Design Regatta, June 21 & 22. There is a small but constant amount of interest from folks in Colorado who would like to buy a Santana 20 locally. If you have one that you'd like to sell, email the particulars to the webmaster and I'll post it ASAP ! 2012 CalendarGrey = rumored thru tentative (listed on SAIL website or elsewhere), Black = verified (listed on event's and/or Organizing Authority's website), Highlighted = S20s fleeted last year.Numbers after venues are coordinates and altitude of club/site and driving time from I-70 & I-25 in Denver (according to Google Maps). Events preceded by "F28" are part of the Fleet 28 Championship Tour and events preceded by "MTT" are part of the Midwest Traveling Trophy circuit.
2012 Cherry Creek seriesThe Denver Sailing Association holds six series on Cherry Creek each summer. All are open to Santana 20s with the caveat that races run prior to paying DSA dues for the year will not count toward trophies and Santana 20s sailing in the 2 dinghy series may only use main and jib (no spinnaker, no genoa). (If you're counting, that's 50 days of racing, not counting regattas)
2012 Chatfield seriesThe Colorado Sailing and Yacht Club holds two keelboat series on Chatfield each summer. They also apparently do a dinghy series on Tuesdays. For more information, please see the CS&YC site. 2012 Carter racingThe Carter Lake Sailing Club is building a Santana 20 fleet ! For more information, email Tim Gormley or Mike Wilson. I always include one or two errors on this page to keep you all on your toes. When you find one (or more) let me know and I'll fix it (or them). Please double-check EVERY event on that event's or organizer's website BEFORE packing up the boat, family, dog and mother-in-law... It is not possible to test on all browser/operating system combinations. If you see something that doesn't work, please email the S20F28 Web Lackey! Thanks!!
