Save the date...assuming the SSS website is accurate:

Sarasota 1: December 14-15, 2019
Sarasota 2: January 18-19, 2020
Sarasota 3: February 8-9, 2020

We will be there - some of the best racing we do all year, wouldn't want to miss it.  More teams should consider teaming up with other owners from their area to split an entry if you want to do an event or two but can't do all three.

Team Meow! will be back again for the whole winter circuit (Sarasota + Miami Bacardi)!  Once again the one and only RonJon from team Northern Honey Badger will be teaming up with us to make it happen!

I bought my December plane tickets today since the rates were really good from New York to Tampa.

Planning to be part of the full series and learn the 1,2,3s of Vipering. Whats the deal with boat storage between events, can we keep them at the Sarosota Sailing Squadron?

Yes, SSS offers storage (at a cost).  Most people do the storage option - having mast-up storage and being able to show up Saturday morning (for those of us who can't take off early from work on Friday) is wonderful.  SSS even moves all of the Vipers to the seawall at some point during the week so that you don't have to hunt for them in the boatyard.  Looking forward to meeting you there this winter.

SSS is my winter club, my boat is well taken care of from November-March.  It's generally cheaper than indoor storage in my neck of the woods but with the added benefit of sailing in an awesome fleet at an awesome venue 3x over the winter!

By chance I am going to be in Sarasota during the first event if there is a crew need for any boats.  Former owner of 165, walking around at 225, better crew then helmsmen.

Uh Oh......Breaking news.

They said it could never happen. Justin Scott and Jeff Jones in the same boat.

Separated by an unbridgeable language and cultural divide....this will be epic! 

See you on December 14th.....we are looking for a lightweight third...helps if they can translate Texan into British English and vice versa.  Not for the thin skinned.

Justin, if you need a third in February i would jump at the opportunity. Currently weighing in at 165. I can usually translate in any situation, just make the boat fast is the answer
