Who is going to the High Sierra Regatta?

[Glenn Vanheel]

Curious - how did the 640 stack up with the U20 speed-wise?  Looked like the two vipers ran off and left the 20's.

you just answered your own question.

[Jeff Jones]

Well you guys looked great off the line and what a beautiful place to sail.

[Drew Harper]

We were out last Weds after a photo shoot at Richmond Yacht. We beat two Melges 24's, boat for boat.

The U20 isn't even close...in pointing, upwind or downwind speed.

[Jason Weisberg]

That regatta looks cool.

I've both boats considerably. Always knew the Viper was faster.

In mid-range breeze, the Viper points higher and sails upwind faster. I'd love to see polars on this boat. Do they exist? Anyone know?

In big breeze the U20 comes into it's own. The Viper is still faster, the margin shrinks a bit.

In light air the Viper is untouchable.

U20 is rated 144 in the Bay Area....Viper is 96. They kick our ass on that one.
