I know there's a video thread, but I thought it'd be fun to get some shots up of our boats in a thread where we can all share?

In case you don't know how to post images, try this: just type out [ img ] (w/o the spaces) then past the image URL in, then type [ /img ] (also w/o the spaces) after the URL and the forum will just display the image inline for you. If you have a flickr account you can also easily grab and share images using their BBcode links.
That one is small but a keeper.
I think the one of the little Benlet steering should go on our front page. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
Good times in the PNW :)
More kids on Vipers...
Here's Salena first Viper race back in March 2007 at age 5...

The attached photo is earlier this year with a friend on board. The girls helped us to a third overall finish behind only Brian Bennett and Craig and Debra.
And you'll see Salena handling the jib again next weekend at the Sarnia One Design
Wifey and me.
Having a blast last week in Bermuda with two kids and a buddy during our summer four day weekend celebration. PHRF racing around the islands in 12-16 knots against a group of Etchells, J105, J80, IOD's windsurfers, and anything else that floats.

Ben,
Is that your dad and your daughter? Ages?

That's my Dad and my son. Jake is 65 years young, Elias is 3 years old. Isabella (my daughter) is 4 months old right now, so not quite old enough for the viper yet, but soon. :)

wow, that must have been a BLAST. How many vipers are in Bermuda?
The picture of Jake and Elias sitting together is priceless. Identical smiles and clear family resemblance.
There could be a bubble coming from Grandad's head "I could do with a cold beer"
Elias "Me too".
Only one at the moment, but we are slowly turning heads and chipping away at the establishment. Stay tuned.
Nice front page post BTW!!!!
more from last tuesday (we actually won our first race and won the night, but it was tight with 2 boats with 5 total points, but the other two went 2-3 and 3-2 where we had 1-4):

my camera does panos in camera, so sorry for the weird vertical seams in the sky, but I'm too lazy to stitch anything myself anymore:

Hey Justin, how amazing is THAT.
55 chasing down a Beneteau 36.7, (unsuccessfully)...PHRF sucks.
