Annapolis NOOD - May 3-4, 2014

Great to see 10 boats signed up now!

It would be very helpful to know where we launch from.
I would like to find accommodation close to the launch site.
Any ideas welcome...

Hi Everyone,

We will be launching out of Eastport YC.  Closest YC to the race course and once out of the Club boat basin, you are in the harbor.  Boats will stay in the water at EYC.  It will cost each boat $20 to store the trailers nearby.  I believe that is total for the weekend but it's possible that is per day.  Anyway, Eastport YC is an awesome spot and we have club member Carl Smit to thank for arranging it and Dan Bowman and Geoff Ewenson for searching all the logistics and contacting all the parties involved here.  If you see them, buy 'em a beer. 

Next on my agenda is getting everyone checked in THU night.  Details to follow.

I'll be there Friday morning and will practice in the afternoon with whoever is interested.

Thanks Tyler, I was wondering what to do about registration.

[Steve Chapman]

Well done Tyler!
We'll arrive late Thursday, too late to register, so well done.

We're up for a Friday afternoon sail. Plan to be at Eastport YC in the morning to get rigged and launched.

Vipers will be launching and docking at Eastport YC, on First St (around the corner from APS and next door to SSA). Trailers will have to be stored in their next door neighbor's yard, for $20 for the weekend.

Please everyone remember that sort of like Miami, this is a big event that somewhat overwhelms the local sailing infrastructure. Courtesy and respect goes a long way to getting us invited back! Please try to get in and out of EYC quickly and with as little fuss as possible. Things like dropping off your boat and parking your car on the street make a big difference... You'll be able to push the boat around, and the trailer to the neighbor.

As we now have a couple of Vipers living in Annapolis, and a multi-year strategy to grow a fleet there, you all can really help by making sure that Vipers are the "friendly & courteous" fleet, as usual!
