[Tim Carter]

Currently the Barcardi Cup is scheduled for March 8-13.....

Should Left Coast Vipers start making arraingment's for the 2010 N.A.'s in Miami during the second week of March???
5 month's away....
;)

[Lee Shuckerow]

I say let's get the dates and NOR set in stone. The sooner we have a plan the more boats will be there.

Also how does everyone feel about having a set of 1,2,3 Corinthian awards.

[Matt Sole]

So what does being a Corinthian entail??

[Lee Shuckerow]

Simply all non Pro Sailors.

And of course being courteous on the water. Just Kidding.

2010 Viper 640 North Americans: March 10-13, 2010 at Coral Reef Yacht Club, as part of the Barcardi Miami Race Week which is March 8-13.

Bleh.   Too many of our Corinthian sailors are every bit as good as pros, so this doesn't seem a good way to divide up the fleet.  

It would be nice to have something for those of us in the back to shoot for (beside great wind and blue water).    How about "high score" awards for the 3 boats with the highest total scores not counting DNFs.   I would actually stand a chance and my friends at work would never know that "high score" wasn't a good thing!

[Tim Carter]

Thanks Jay,  Now we have dates to plan on....

As for the "Corinthian's", I think they should be recognized....If you're the top corinthian and ended up 4th, I thinks that's great and you get deserve your 4th keeper, but you should get additional snaps for holding your own with those pro farkers.

I know the Etchell's class is doing that now, because it's deep with industry types....

Ok so how the hell is everybody getting their boats down there?

I-95 goes all the way, right?  :-)  But I plan to take I-75 myself.

Next question - what are the best places to stay?  Anything affordable within walking distance of the club?

[Jeff Jones]

Assuming your in the LIS area Jay's right.. 95 all the way.  Est. 1200 miles?

Georgia - 75 to 95. Est. 670 miles?

Texans - 10 to 75 to 90.  Est 1400 miles?

West Coasties - 8 to 35 to 10 to 75 to 95.  For the Diego boys it's 2600 miles, Arizona 2300 miles

Assuming these big events are going to move around the country, you might want to invest in a new set of tires.

What was your question again?

if you leave now you just might get there before first gun!

[Jay Harrell]

Y'all are making me feel privileged to drive "only" 670 miles each way.

Google maps says that Austin is actually closer than Marblehead by about 2 hours.  And don't forget St Louis area at 1200 miles.  Who would have thought that Miami was centrally located.

This thing ought to be BIG!  Or at least everyone will be equally road-weary.
