US Sunfish Fleets

[AQBill]

OK, I've been to several websites and still can't find a listing of current US Fleets and their Fleet Captains. Maps would be nice - global, national, regional, etc. I'm sure that somebody out there knows where this information is kept.

Well, here is the schedule for 2010 racing:

Here is the facebook page which has the name of the regional representatives:

And here you can find links for the sites of every regional website (scroll down and you will find it to your right):
http://united-states.sunfishclass.org/

Hope this helps some.

A map of each regional group of states like the Midwest has posted would be very helpful.

This map tells me what states are included in midwest district but - again - I'm looking for the fleets. If you were a new Sunfish sailor, wouldn't it be a good idea for he or she to contact a nearby fleet? This should not be that difficult and, if it is, it's something that the Sunfish Class should rectify. Arrrgh!

from the Midwest region site (http://www.sunfishclass.org/midwest/blog/)

• active fleets: http://www.sunfishclass.org/midwest...0/03/2009_Midwest_Active_Chartered_Fleets.pdf
• midwest fleet list (historical): http://www.sunfishclass.org/midwest/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Midwest-Fleets-historical1.pdf

is that what you're shooting for?
are you looking for a specific region?

 

[AQBill]

Getting closer! Now I can see the active fleets in the Midwest...but, again, shouldn't there be a national list of active fleets somewhere without having to "dig" for it? Thanks for your interest!

...without having to "dig" for it?...

it took some digging, but here you go:
I went here: http://united-states.sunfishclass.org/
then here: http://www.sunfishclass.org/indexold.htm (legacy site)

and finally.... here: http://www.sunfishclass.org/admin/fleets.htm <--- THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, RIGHT?

not sure how up-to-date it will be, but it looks like a pretty big list.

how's this grab ya? I just made it really quick to show them all on a map.

 

[AQBill]

Well, there you go! I knew somebody out there would have the info. Now don't you think it would be a great idea to have something like this conspicuously highlighted under "Sunfish KB & FAQ" and "Class Information." Thanks for your effort. This seems like something Sunfish US Office could do once a year to update for those active fleets.

Peace, Brothers & Sisters, Peace!

Thanks tag for doing the homework.

I didn't realize so many fleets are extinct for practical purposes
