Can't wait for this weekend!

Friday night, the Marblehead fleet will be in downtown Burlington from 7pm onwards--  Amy's going to be putting on a live show in honor of the Viper 640 Class Association at Radio Bean:

Looking forward to seeing you guys there at 7, if you can make it!

Viper class sail registration stickers ------

Steve Chapman and I will have some if you need them.  All sails out on the water have to be registered. If you need them, please pay in advance on the Class site - Technical - Sail Registration and pay via PayPal.  Don't make us hunt you down!  Proceeds help pay for all the great work Buttons does.

I'll have keel templates with me if you plan to do any fairing over the weekend ($25 each)

I'm trying both locally and on the forums to find a spinnaker trimmer (both days) for a 20th boat (Paul Zimmerman). Please let me or Paul know. It would be pretty cool to hit 20 for this event.

Thanks,

Jason

Great day! I am so tired, but happy. Five races, and then a two mile planing run back to the club.

Results day one: http://lcyc.info/files/LC%20Viper%20Regatta%202016.html

There was pulled pork and a couple of salads, a bunch of local beer from the local fleet (quite the selection!), plus some rum and tonic.

Then someone started a fire in the fireplace and Amy Mantis gave a great musical performance. This will be the new tradition!

Back at it tomorrow. Thanks to everyone on the race crew, and thanks to the traveling sailors for coming to Vermont!

Cheers,

Jason

I can't believe how great this regatta is--it's gotten better each year!  WOW--19 boats out on the line over the two days in great conditions!  The hospitality is second to none up at LCYC!  I still am having a hard time focusing on work today.. :)

Great video Sheep!!

My secret motivation is to get more Viper 640 sailors to move to Vermont!

If you can't move here, please come for the next regatta in 2017!
