Charleston Race Week -2012. Let's make it the largest Viper attendance ever.

Justin Scott · December 08, 2011, 07:43:31 AM

Registration has opened.

Currently, the Viper class has the largest fleet at Charleston ! We have 2 boats signed up immediately. The J80s have only 1.

I thought I'd be first to sign up but Jonathan Nye has beat me to the punch. How does he do it?

Dave Nickerson · December 08, 2011, 08:50:22 AM

Done

In. Note that 2012 Charleston RW is also the Viper class's Atlantic Coast Championship. Despite being several hundred miles from the Atlantic Coast, a Texan will still be allowed to take home the perpetual trophy if it comes to that.

Also, the link posted above is incorrect -- NOR and entry form for CRW 2012 is at http://www.yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=552

Now up to 9 Vipers in no time at all.

David Furna · December 08, 2011, 05:52:47 PM

55 is registered....that makes 10

Peter Beardsley · December 08, 2011, 08:07:57 PM

And now 11. Here comes the snowball effect...entries beget entries. Two midwest boats before the first Texan, though it's probably still nice weather in Texas so that people aren't couped up in their houses with the heat on planning out their next regatta 4 months down the line.

David Oliver · December 08, 2011, 08:50:15 PM

Now an even dozen. . .

Darren Gilbert · December 09, 2011, 08:07:36 AM

Black Sheep is in...14 now

Peter Beardsley · December 09, 2011, 03:33:09 PM

15. I almost want to keep hitting refresh every hour or so to watch this increase, but then I remember I have a job. But still, let's keep 'em coming. It'll at least show everyone that the Vipers can rally turnout just as well as the Melges 20 guys, at a fraction of the cost. Looks like this still hasn't found the radar of the Newport guys yet...

Joe Healey · December 09, 2011, 04:56:46 PM

Don't forget Miami!!!!

Internet is down in Newport again. I can't view any of peters posts. Funny how I can see everyone else's.

Your spam software probably filters out the pornagraphic panda.

Dan Tucker · December 10, 2011, 06:57:56 PM

Now 16 Vipers and 6 other random leadmines.

Brad and Lee are suprisingly slow across the startline for this one. Not often we're all ahead of the Jackpot!

As it gets colder our blood thickens, which results in slower reaction time.
