Can anyone tell me if this is gonna happen? I don't see anywhere to register. Just trying to prepare. Thanks

I was wondering this my self?? Anything from the powers that be?

Lee Eikel · January 14, 2013, 01:24:27 PM

Yep, It's what I need to know. Justin you have to know something.

Ok--now thinking of flights for crew--it would be really nice to see a NOR.

Hey Viperers. We have booked flights and hotel, and I am planning on driving down from Canada through the snow...

The storage at the Sailing Center is cheap. Come down for this event, leave the boat mast up for three weeks, come down for two more events in early March.

This Regatta is going ahead. There are going to be lots of Melges 20s there - we need to have some Vipers.

What happened to the Southern Circuit?

Hey Lee,

I dont know much about this one. I believe Dan Tucker and others are organizing.
I have volunteered to help out with #3 and #4 which is the week long event with a regatta at either end. I would love to come down in Feb but I am very tied up with other issues at the moment. Hopefully 2013/14 will see me with more sailing time.

It seems that the Class cannot get organized on this Miami event. I would like to suggest an alternative regatta to this one, one that already has a venue and pre-registered boats.

Mardi Gras Race New Orleans February 14-17.

Already has Five boats pre-registered. The Viper Class has been to this event in the last couple of years. Less than a days drive from a majority of the Texas boats, but quite a drive for the southern Floirdau boats. A very good stop over point for those in Texas and West Coasters that may be thinking about Miami in March.

Would be really nice if we can get a class at least once a year in the Gulf Yachting Association, that also happens to be considereing a new baot for it's interclub racing program to repalce the Flying Scot in a few years (wink, wink).

It's doesn't appear like this regatta is going to happen. i would like to echo Craig's statement as MGRW is a good alternative to this. Come to MGRW and I'll buy a round!!

Craig Wilusz · January 17, 2013, 10:30:58 AM

Hell a round...

I have Five bottles of rum (new, not used condition) to give away for out for the next five out of area entries. Must pre-register and show up. I also have a bottle of rum each for Robert and Nick for their initiative.

Conditions for Rum, Pre-register, pay entry, show up. If you happen to damage yourself during the event the rum is still yours. ( I am not encouraging you to damage yourself, Drake, more that you already are)

Craig, has officially offered to carry all of our beer on his hobie ss. Just sail by between races and he will throw you a cold one!! Now thats service!! ;)

Craig Wilusz · January 17, 2013, 11:20:09 AM

Jim gets a bottle too.

As for carrying beer for all you bastards, now that is a different story.
