Even though its far off, we have 5 boats registered so far. Should be a good event

What's it like a AYC? get to launch there and keep the boat there too? How about local lodging?

Doug Mroz · August 10, 2010, 02:25:50 PM

Yeah, vipers have an area to launch from. I think we pulled out sat night last year because it was easy, but there is dock space.

David Furna · August 10, 2010, 03:33:31 PM

alright, I'm in. Got to go cash in all the aluminum beer cans in the garage to pay for this Viper addiction!

Jackpot is coming back to do this regatta again. 12 hr drive is well worth it!

David Furna · August 11, 2010, 07:26:21 AM

12 hrs for me also, plus $65 in tolls!! Might be a little "chilly" up there for us Southern Boys...

Olaf Bleck · August 11, 2010, 08:32:16 AM

I'm in!

$115 for three ppl, includes 2 nights of food, beer, and three polo shirts.

They are also going to attempt to house everyone that wants it, if you enter by Sept. 1.

When you go to the reg. page, be sure to add housing and the shirts to you reg. order (note price is $0).

8 boats so far!!

Jep Peacock · August 12, 2010, 09:01:43 PM

Rut Row will be there!

Doug Mroz · August 12, 2010, 10:41:05 PM

Awesome, seems like if your going to do any event in the fall on the east coast, its this one.

Come to HPDO and get a new kite for as little as $600!

Thank You EFG and the sailmakers who are making this happen!

Jeff Jones · August 13, 2010, 04:12:12 PM

Sweet!

Animal is 90%, might have a second boat from Texas in tow as well.

Duncan Adams · August 21, 2010, 06:26:18 AM

Anyone doing this event but not planning on buying one of these cheap kites? Bit of a long shot I know but i'm really struggling to get a kite (i can afford) for my Viper. I would love to do the event but we sail ing the UK so it's a bit too far. If you be interested in making a few bucks by buying one and selling it to me I'd be a very happy man! OR if you buy on and then want to sell you old (but hopefully Good) kite I'd also be interested.
Hopefully someone can help?!

24 boats registered so far!! Lets keep going!!
