Keep your Viper happy this winter!

You may not know that Viper 640 Class Treasurer Tony Chapman lives in Maricopa County, Arizona, and has been working night and day tallying ballots cast last week on the 2022-23 Viper Sailing Season Referendum. As Tony (a CPA when off the water) likes to say, “Numbers don’t lie!”

Tony’s findings are interesting, if not entertaining, but the key is that the Class and Southern Yacht Club really need you to register for this winter’s regattas and the worlds.

Here is the Executive Summary of what Tony has calculated indicating that:

  1. Your Viper is happiest when racing,
  2. Your Viper should be in or headed south this winter,
  3. Most of your don’t even have a dog so there’s no reason you haven’t registered yet, and
  4. With the new Forum post on finding and blending crews for the Winter series, there’s no excuse not to be going to New Orleans this winter.

In all seriousness, make plans to join the sailing out of Southern Yacht Club this Winter.  Registration, housing, transport & storage, and crew finder links are below. 

IF YOU’RE COMING,
LET US KNOW NOW!
