Light and shifty breezes. Sometimes 10 knots, sometimes nothing. Race also with 30 keelboats so getting clean air at times was hard as some parts of the course was quite narrow.

Probably not a great inclination of the boat's abilities. But did notice it is a bit sticky in the v/light stuff accelerating. The 2 A-Cats had to work back from being a long way down the fleet to win. At one stage I was 15 to 20 mins behind the Viper after a long kite run which didn't have enough wind to go wild for the A.

Goodall is in Singapore setting up Viper #3 here, so a better hitout will probably be arranged if the wind permits.

Photos will be posted later on:

Now that they're in production, how much does the viper weigh?

Will try and find out this weekend.

But helping to pull it up the ramp on the weekend, it is heavier than the Taipan, but not significantly so.

I think putting Capricorn beams on it is the biggest thing adding to the weight compared to a Taipan.
