Long Beach Race Week

[Jeffrey Young]

I don't think so.  I think they need to do it themselves.  I'll check though.

I received a confirmatory email that my registration was complete.  The email had a link for updating the registration information.  When I clicked on the link, I was able to update my information.  The drop-down menu for the desired class included viper 640, which I selected.  When I checked the website later, my name was under the Viper 640 class.

Hello Viper Skippers,

I am not sure that this forum is the correct venue for this, but here goes:

I am looking to crew on, and pehaps in the future, purchase, one of these excellent sport boats. I met Justin Scott at Charleston Race Week, and crewed for him on Mambo Kings, and we had a blast.

It looks like there will be a One Design Start for you guys at LBRW, and I would love to crew, if anyone is looking for someone who is familiar with the design, and knows how to pull some stings.
I have a good sailing resume', including: Many Events on Lake Michigan, '06 Chicago NOOD- Best Boat Overall J-105 crew, Chicago Verve, Chicago to Mac, Delivery Skipper on return, Key West, Multiple Chesapeake Bay events, Nationals, North Americans, and Several SF Bay events. Charters to Catalina Island, etc...

Let me know if interested

[Kevin Kienast]

As a follow up Tom and I are now doing LBRW (a boat has been generously provided) and we are seeking (interviewing ;-) for a third soul.  Feel free to contact Tom down south or me if you want a lift from the Bay area.  use "ronin42 at yahoo dot com" if you want to email me directly.  LBRW looks like it will be a blast.

Carpe Diem

Hey Guys,

Just got the confirm from Tom Dent that they are chartering a boat for LBRW. That's great.

I just know that the Vipe is going to get traction on the Left Coast.  This is exactly how we started on the Right Coast. A few boats getting together for a few regattas. Sharing and spreading the word with our friends.  Growing just one boat at a time.

We were very careful not to set high expectations. We were very different from Laser which set expectations for the SB3 of immediate huge one design fleets. We were much more modest in what it took for us to have a good time.

Instead we were happy to mix up some PHRF and some one design. We had fun with 2 or 3 boats local to each other. We celebrated a regatta where 5 or 6 Vipers got together for a rendezvous regatta. The racing was close, the boats were fast, the friendships were good - what was not to like?  And then someone would see that and buy the 7th boat and we high fived.

Our NAs had 9 boats on the line and 6 of us had a blast getting together at St Pete that winter.

If 6 boats can have so much fun, then its easy for someone to buy the next boat.

3 years later we have 30+ boats on the line.......but I maintain, that it is still fun to go bash aound the marks with 4 or 5 Vipers. You guys are doing all the right things. Good luck and have fun!

I was at the LBRW planning meeting last night...  the Vipers officially have a start of their own on the onshore circle.  Six boats...  who'd a thunk!  So come on down for Long Beach Race Week, enjoy three days of racing and two days of heavy partying.

And Dave?  Try not to tip over!  But if you do...  remember that rescue boat last year?  The one with the girls with the large bazzooms?

Enjoy...  I'm stuck on shore this year.

:-))  He said bazzooms =o

So far we have two rockstarettes at LBRW.  Mahalynn Lu fresh off her win on the Andrews 77 at Swiftsure and Deb Tamburri who's the latest SCOTW on Sailing Anarchy.  Where the he*^ is Stacey?

Hi

34 year old 169 lb. male looking for a ride for LBRW.  I have never been on a Viper but am familiar with smaller sportboats with assymetrical kites.  I frequently have raced Melges 24, Ultimate 24, Ultimate 20, and J 24.  I competed in the Melges 24 Nationals last weekend.

If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it!!!

Thanks,

Steve

Hey All,
Looks like the crew available pool is deep, sure would be nice to scare up another crotch-rocket for them to play on.
Any possibles out there? Bazooms not withstanding...

I can vouch for sailchick. Solid, skilled crew, and not too hard on the eyes...;-}
