One of the first Vipers in AUS sailed at Victor harbor (80km south of Adelaide)on Saturday all went well will post photo's when we get them and results as they are available. Not sure who the owners are yet will make this available in time.This now makes 2x Blades 1x Taipan 1x Viper 1x Converted A class all sailing at the same Club and talk of at least one more to join (Blade) next season so all is going well and the class is building nicely.Sorry about photo was taken with phone and sent via sms.

Lookin' good.

Sounds like a nice fleet is building there.

Catching back up to Jim Boyer's quality work will be an interesting journey for Goodall and his new team...
Looking forward to hearing about the weight, quality etc...

and congrats on the fleet...

Dare I ask the question on everyones lips...what is the weight of this new viper?

Lucky it didn't melt - it was 38deg C that day - phew. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

They were only having a test sail that day.

All boats will be weighed & measured at Victor Harbor YC when the AUS F16 association is formed. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Wasn't that hot down here Marcus. Those lads sounded pretty keen to start racing in a couple of weeks, so the signs are looking pretty good for next season, hopefully atleast 6 or 7 boats if everyone rocks up

Hey welcome to the forum Wade. Sweet avatar photo.

Yehaaaa.....

About time you posted something here!!!

Maybe thats why we will become permanent residents down there as of 20th March!!

Wade,
Could you send me the original hi res version of that pic in your avatar.
Looking good!

You may already know this, but in case not - in Firefox, if you right click the image and select "view image", you'll get the full size version that is loaded on the site, in this case 1027x1186. In Internet Explorer, I don't think there's a view image option, but there is "save picture as".

Yea, a real smart shot and doesn't he look cool <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Needed a little tidying there Mark <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's a shame you couldn't pull the kite all the way and put the F16 mainsail logo in the preferred location whilst you were at it John <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> but it's still an improvement.

This is another photo taken on the same day.It's a Aussie Blade.

All the good fun had to come to an end at some stage.!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Its good to get some righting practice sometimes. Me and Brett are getting good at it now <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Hey Guys,

great to see pics and action in S.A. Keep practicing on the righting, I managed 3 out of 4 races last weekend <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />.

See you at Portland, 5-6 April.<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
