Hampton Yacht Club hosted its annual premier event, Southern Bay Race Week in early June.  Hampton will be the site of the 2025 Viper North Americans in early October of next year.  Nine Vipers sailed the Friday, Saturday, Sunday nine-race event.

Vir Menon, Brian Fox, and Marian Williams took all three of the Friday races in medium breeze to set the pace.  The wind stopped cooperating in mid-afternoon and the fleet headed to the Goslings party ashore.  Saturday brought similar moderate breezes with some larger shifts.  The team of Mary Ewenson, Jane Moore, Rob Gorman, and Sarah Moore on Plymouth Satellite challenged, winning the last of three races.  Mark Wheeler, Charlie Brewer, and Gordon Stokes saved their best for the last day notching two bullets and a second to come within two points of Vir Menon and team, but could not catch them.
