who's planning on going? Karen and I would like to if we sort out some of the budget-concerning bits (er like housing on the cheap: anyone have thoughts?)

[Fletcher]

I'm in - still looking to sort out housing as well.

Would be nice if Sail Newport put up the entries list.

[Dan Tucker]

Where do the Vipers normally race for this regatta? I've done it 4 times on a J105 and we are always out past R2.......The Vipers stay in the Harbor?

[Matt Sole]

Its a bit of a logistical nightmare for me, trying to figure it out. Since I expect my floating home to be in Nantucket, I need to find crew with a spare bed!

Potter's Cove, just north of the bridge.

A Melges 24 owner is interested in chartering a boat for this regatta, anyone know if there are any available boats in the New England area? Please contact me at [email protected], thanks!

[Zach Freeborn]

One week to go, and we have 11 boats signed up and another three that I know of that are going to sign up. 

Anyone who is staying in town for an extra day or two is welcome to join in on some sport-boat oriented PHRF racing on Monday night.  The other boats in the series should include Melges 32s, a 28' one-off, Melges 20, SB3, Shaw 650, Open 5.70, and MX-20.
