All, a couple of items regarding our upcoming Viper PCC in Eugene Oregon.
* First off, there is a change of scheduling. We originally planned to sail 3 days (fri-sun). After hearing from a few folks, we have decided that the PCC this year will ONLY BE SAILED 2 DAYS, ON SATURDAY AUG 15TH - SUNDAY AUG 16TH. This relieves everyone of taking an additional day off of work for travel etc and still allows the weekend for what will be a fantastic regatta. This move has already allowed us to get at least one more confirmed boat on the water.
*NOR for the Eugene Yacht Club (EYC) Harvest Day Regatta (our PCC) can be found here...

*Online registration will be available in about 2 weeks
The PNW plans to have 6 boats there, we only have 7. Hoping the SoCal and AZ crowds make the trip and join us. You wont be disappointed with the venue. Again, there is free tent camping on the Club grounds, RV camping in the Club parking lot (no hookups), or Richardson State Park next door with full camping hookups etc. The Club grounds are fairly plush for camping. In addition, there are several hotels in the general vicinity with the "Snake Pit" being the Holiday Inn in Springfield
As usual, feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, excuses, so we can do whatever we need to make sure you don't miss out on what will be another great Viper event!

Accommodations for those without camping equipment or RV:
I just booked a double bed room only 18 min drive from Eugene Yacht Club (Value Inn Motel), pics look OK, 79$/Night modest but should do the trick.
Value Inn Motel; 595 Highway 99 N, Eugene, OR, 97402

There are tons of alternatives, but truth is: if your bones can handle it, nothing beats camping by the lake :-)
