Sailing in RI

[Db73]

hello all,
 Are there any fleets in RI for the Viper? I am not having any luck finding any recent results for Viper fleet racing in the RI area. I am in Norther RI but still not around the corner to Marblehead. I love the Viper platform honestly and found a great boat as well near me. I used to race but not one design and would like even a modest scene around me for weekly racing. Thank you much!

Best
Drew

Drew,

There is not presently active one design Viper racing in the Rhode Island area, but that can change quickly.  There are active fleets in Marblehead and Western Long Island Sound.  There was an active group in Newport a dozen or so years ago, and we all love sailing in Newport and Wickford and would love to go back one day if there are some local Vipers that want to lead the charge.

DM a member of this board asking for contact information for the current owner of Viper #105, whom lives in Providence and sails (mostly) from Marblehead. It would likely be a good place to start.
