I wanted to let you all know that the 2009 Viper 640 North American Championships, presented by Stamford Yacht Club, Indian Harbor Yacht Club and the Western Long Island Sound Viper Fleet is scheduled for September 17-20, 2009, so please mark your calendars!
The members of the race committee are working hard to make the regatta a great race and great fun. More details will be posted on the website in the near future. The first day (Thursday) will be practice racing, and the championship races will be on Friday through Sunday.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please feel free to drop me a note here or to
[email protected].
Looking forward to hearing from you-
Jan Murray
The registration for the 2009 North Americans is now open at www.yachtscoring.com, and the NOR has been posted. I will be posting more information and details about the regatta shortly. The discount for early registration ends on 5/31, so go register! Do you think 50 is possible?

In the Viper class...ANYTHING'S possible :-))
Hi Jan,
is there a chance to have charter boats available for the NA ?
Some "left coasters" are desesperate to find a way to join you guys in Stamford.
If you know anyone that might be willing to charter his boat please let me know.
(we would come with our sails of course)
Laurent - AZ desert Viper fleet captain.
Cheers.
Getting sails moved is a bit of a pain. Too big for UPS. Common Carrier is the only way and they have a habit of trashing anything that isn't packed for wartime use.
Yes, please do keep us left coasters aware of anything that may be available.
Someday you'll all be traveling West for the NA's to where the winds are heavy and the fun is neverending!

The committee will do its best to hook up sailors with no boats and boats with no sailors. But to get 50 on the line, this needs to be a community effort - anyone with a boat that won't be racing, and is interested in chartering your boat for the NAs, please chime in, or contact me at

Policies may have changed so check w/ your airline. They may go as checked luggage especially if you call the package a "windsurfer". When I did this an Etchells main and two jibs were under the max length and weight so a Viper main and jib shouldn't be a problem.

Guys and Gals the entry fee for the 2009 NA goes up after May 31. It is discounted by $55.00 if you sign up before then.
It's easy just click here http://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=264
Hey everyone 17 boats signed up to date. $55.00 discount evaporates May 31 sign up ASAP.
20 boats signed up for North Americans lets get to 30 by the end of the weekend. Give them something to talk about at Detroit NOOD!!!
There is still a little time left to register for the NAs and get the sweeeet discount!! 27 boats are in.
30 BOATS to date this event is going to eclipse CRW in numbers and close knit fun both on and off shore. Be a part of Viper history sign up ASAP.
We have just updated the hotel information sheet and added a document that details the activities and schedule for the weekend. Please go to www.yachtscoring.com to see them. We will update the details as needed and let you know. It's shaping up to be a fun weekend.
We have 31 boats registered already - don't miss Viper history - register now. Why wait??
The web site to order regatta clothing and other items at Coral Reef Sailing Apparal is now up and running. Here's the link:
http://www.coralreefsailing.net/
You can order all your items and pick them up at the regatta, or if you prefer, you can have the embroidered items shipped to you now, for your enjoyment all summer long. The screened items will be done in one batch, so they will be available at the regatta only. There is lots of good stuff on the site - enjoy!

FYI: Ask for Brian S.. I'm sure he can hook you up with custom regatta gear as well. ...most likely with or w/o the Viper NA stuff on it as well!
I am pleased to announce that Goslings Rum is the Title sponsor for the 2009 Viper NA's to be held at Stamford and Indian Harbor Yacht Club this September. So if you need another reason to participate beyond the fact that its going to be an awesome regatta. It will be an even better off the water event because all you have to do is say "a Dark and Stormy please" and the only thing you will hear in return is "here you go, Cheers!"
The late entry fee kicks in soon, so if you've been putting off entering, now is the time to do it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me -
[email protected]Hope to see you there!
If anyone has any interest in forming a large group to go out to a peruvian eatery on Friday evening. Let us know.
