And everyone is very approachable. Joining the Santana 20 class gives you the ability to help keep this amazing long lasting boat and class association strong for years to come. Sailing can be very expensive these days. But Santana 20’s are affordable and easy to trailer, with rigging and parts still available.

What You Support

• When you join this class, your membership dues support the activities that actively promote this class. This website, our local and national regattas, and our local active fleets help new and existing Santana 20 sailors stay in touch with what is happening in the world of Satana 20 owners. If you have benefited from these resources and activities in the past, we ask that you continue to support the class so that you and others may continue to gain from the experience of owning a Santana 20.

• When you bought your Santana 20 boat, you will have found yourself being helped by many other sailors who own a Santana 20. Each one of these sailors, and especially the people who contribute their time and effort for the benefit of the national class association and the local fleets such as the officers, fleet captains and directors, have the goal of improving the racing in the class by having more boats and more events. All that these people ask is that you contribute your share to help achieve these goals and in the end, it benefits you as well.
