Harbor 20 Fleet 5

With over 30 boats, Fleet 5 is one of the most active one-design classes in Annapolis. Our purpose is: to promote the continued enjoyment of Harbor 20 class yachts in fair, Corinthian, one-design racing, and in day sailing and other social activities; to promote friendship among owners and crews; and to support charities through fundraising and regatta participation.

In the Spring and Summer, our boats are raced in the competitive Annapolis Yacht Club Wednesday Night Race series, and through the winter months in the AYC Frostbite Series. In addition, the boats and owners participate in the H20 Fleet 5 spring, summer, and fall championship regattas which decide the Class Champion and selection to participate in the East-West Challenge Cup.  

The H20 East-West Challenge Cup includes sailors from Annapolis (Fleet 5), Hilton Head (Fleet 3), Santa Barbara (Fleet 4), Smith Mountain Lake VA (Fleet 7), Eugene OR (Fleet 8), Mission Bay CA (Fleet 9), and Newport Beach (Fleet 1) and the location rotates from west coast to east coast. Fleet 5 hosted the 2017 and 2024 East-West Challenge Cup and hosted the 2022 National Class Championship.

The Fleet also supports the EWE Spirit Regatta, Maryland Cures Cancer Cup, CRAB Regatta, and the Hospice Cup rounding out an active and challenging annual racing schedule.
