Little known fact outside of Rhode Island:

"Victory Day" is a state holiday in Rhode Island and occurs on the second Monday in August each year. Victory Day, also known as VJ Day, marks the anniversary of the Allies’ victory over Japan during World War II. Many businesses are closed as are all State offices.

Rhode Island is the only state to commemorate VJ day as an official state holiday.

Nothing about ferrets.

Looks like two teams may be coming over from Singapore. Helping them with charters and logistics- really hope they can make it!

I was just in Singapore a couple days ago, do you know where they are based? I heard there is a good sailing club out by the airport, but we layover downtown, a good 30-45 minutes from the airport.

Changi sailing club is where most of the cats are. They have 4 Carbon 20s, a few Nacra 20s, and a bunch of vipers. Pro Sail Asia are the local dealers, awesome, awesome people! I've sailed a good amount there, heading back Jan 1 for 6 weeks.

Jeff, I've got another Singapore trip in Jan. I should arrive the night of Jan. 28 about 2am, we layover 28 hours (Jan 29)at the Swissotel at Merchant Court.

I'll meet you at the "Four floors of whores" (Orchid Towers) for a beer or three if you are in town.

Anything new?

Yeah, it's mf-ing cold in Minnesota.

I've got a 2013 Viper available that's already in Newport for sale. Only used one week. It can be delivered to the event or even set up there earlier on in the season if anyone wants to fly in and practice before the event. Send me an email if interested.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I'll even practice with them on Narragansett Bay in April if they want. : )

Regatta organizer here seeking competitors, RC volunteers, sponsors for the event. RSVP.

Potential competitor here seeking official NOR and website for registration.

Second draft of NOR under review now. Event website with electronic registration via PayPal expected to go live by month end.

What arrangements have been made for certification?

Measuring will take place at the event, lead by the International Class President and the International Secretary.

Charter Available for World's:


2012 Falcon F16 (USA 1231) fully race ready

PM me, if interested, for details.

if it comes with crew pictured in your avatar, you should have no trouble at all chartering it (at any price)

Sorry, my skipper can't get the time off otherwise we'd be racing!

I don't think this has been posted here yet, but the event website is up and running.
