Sweet, welcome aboard!

You plan on sailing it Uni or two up or a mix of both?

And Mike, where were you at night during the GC? I wanted to share a few drinks and hear some war stories but couldn't find you.

I was hanging out with the family most nights.

One night I visited an aunt in Tampa, the two party nights at the club, was there for a bit and then went to the house.

I probably should have done a little more socializing, but went to the house with the pops and mom and girlfriend. smile

I'll be there in the spring!

Mostly single handed. Major events I'll probably do two up, and when I go up to the Apostle Islands each year.

Yep. Last one. I'll be picking it up and doing Tradewinds with it.

May I ask why you preferred the Viper for this use over say, for example, a Falcon ?

I don't think so. Right now the tentative plan is Dan Krueger will be crewing with me on it, and his wife Kelly will be crewing for Robbie. If something changes I'll shoot you a note.

BTW- FXone for sale..... I know, buy an ad.

Welcome. But you have to learn to drink rum, class rule.

Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear.
This little refrain, should help me explain, as a matter of fact I like beer........

You could convert the regatta you organize to an AHPC class regatta, but invite the "other" F16s and F18s.
... did I say that?
