Triple boat trailer I got, time... Not so much.

There's been a lot of discussion about it. You guys are putting together one hell of a program out there.

Not until you sign up you're not! Not showing up on the entry list at least. Make it happen, but glad to hear you guys are back in the game. I have not been disappointed the two times I've raced Vipers in Long Beach, and am I told I wasn't even there when the weather was good.

Tim Carter · May 23, 2013, 01:48:07 PM

2 or 4 others still sitting on the fence..

this is THE regatta on the West Coast, best sailing best parties, best folks.

Come on out folks!!! :)

Tim Carter · May 27, 2013, 02:31:19 PM

One month out and we are static @ 20 boats.. I know there are some others just itching to join in. Will we hit 25??

Tim Carter · June 04, 2013, 03:48:17 AM

up to 23 now with just under a month to go.... 25? 28? :P

Come on, you know you want to be here to celebrate this very important event for Vipers on the West Coast, and accrue points towards the Pan Am Champs.

Entrants from:
British Columbia
Washington
California
Arizona
and the Isle or Wright

Any more states want to join in on the fun?
You can even go to Disneyland :)

Tim -

I just received this update from the local weather gods. The sailing conditions will be excellent again in 2013. Wind strengths between 8-20 kts are on tap along with plenty of sunshine. Couple this with the excellent shore facilities at ABYC and it will be hard not to have a enjoyable regatta. Just sayin...

Jeff Jones · June 05, 2013, 10:17:59 AM

Really nice job guys, keep it rolling. Wish we could make it out.

see ya in 2014 or in Houston if you make it to the NAs

LBRW is also the left coast qualifier for the EFG Pan American Championship: http://www.viper640.org/component/content/article/14-news/419-efg-revamps-viper-pan-american-championship-sponsorship

Justin Scott · June 16, 2013, 10:32:51 AM

With 25 boats entered for LBRW:

Finishing positions 1 thru 5 will carry 1 point towards the Pan Americans final
2-10 = 2 points
11-15 = 3 points
16-20 = 4 points
21-25 = 5 points
DNC = 7 points.

In the final event, these points are equivalent to a single non-discardable race. So if we race 8 races in Miami...then you can discard your worst race. Then those 7 races + your qualifier points will determine the results in Miami.

Good luck in Long Beach.

Tim Carter · June 17, 2013, 11:34:57 AM

Good times for all... fairly typical breeze pattern setting in..

Saturday and Sunday

Justin Scott · June 29, 2013, 08:21:02 AM

Looking at first day's results. That looks like some close racing!

Garrett Johns · June 29, 2013, 11:44:41 AM

Typical Long Beach with sunshine and breeze .......if your into that sort of thing :). Looks like more of the same on tap for day 2. Day one results here...
