Neils comes recommended - I sailed with him years ago in my pre-Viper life...

Does anyone have a open crew position for the St. Pete NOOD? I have experience racing Lightnings, Keel boats - J's, U20 etc. and Corsair tris. Also keep me in mind for any of the races in the region.
Regards,
Niels

Hey All,

Got my confirmation from the nood ppl today have we arranged dockage for the fleet or should we do this individually?

Jay Harrell · February 05, 2009, 11:02:48 AM

I will call the dockmaster and find out where he plans to put us and post back here when I find out. No need to call individually.

You guys are AWESOME.

Thanks for putting out such GREAT participation/travel for CHRW, SP Noods and hopefully CHAWS.

The St Pete YC Dockmaster says that he has us docked on the North side, "past the fuel docks" - which means closer towards shore. When you arrive, you can find a map of the exact locations posted at the dockhouse.

I just wanted to say that on behalf of Dan, Scott and Myself we really enjoyed sailing the Viper and meeting all the sailors in the fleet!

I look forward to sailing many more regattas against you all.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Cheers

They will be on the site soon after Felipe or I get them from Brian. He said he sent them, but I think his email to me bounced for being too big.

Gary Umberger · February 18, 2009, 10:46:22 AM

Thank you Dan you are the greatest!!!

I presume that all of us who attended St Pete agree with the sentiments that I expressed in this email that I sent to the SPYC dock staff and the guys at the sailing center. (Especially those of us who left our trailers a little too long in the parking lot - blush, blush)

Subject: Thank You for hosting the St Pete NOOD - From the Viper 640 fleet.

Hello Nate and Shawn,

I am the Class Prez for the Viper 640 Class Association. At our class debrief after sailing in the St Pete NOOD I was asked by all the skippers to write and say "Thank You" to the staff at SPYC for hosting the NOOD regatta.

We all had a very good time time. We had some great sailboat racing and its great to hang out in St Pete (especially for those from New England in February). You guys are terrific hosts and the regatta only works because you are able to launch and pull so many visitor boats, and then find dock space for all of us. It is a lot of work for you all and we wanted to tell you that we appreciate it very much. Please pass on our thanks to all the dock staff at the club and all the folk who worked at the sailing center.

Justin Scott

Any Pictures yet? We lost Brian somewhere in Texas, maybe?

Felipe Payet · March 19, 2009, 09:49:11 PM

Here are the pictures I got from Brian. Eventually we'll put up a gallery on the class web site, but I didn't want to keep y'all waiting.

Apologies for the less than stellar quality on some of the images. We'll work on getting that cleaned up once I get my hands on originals.

Great shots of the fleet starting all bunched up, and the three red kites chasing the white kite downwind...

Felipe Payet · March 19, 2009, 09:50:17 PM

a few more pictures

Felipe Payet · March 19, 2009, 09:52:05 PM

And the last ones...
