NOR/SI Templates & RM Award Information

The GYA Race Management Committee has published the GYA Standard Capdevielle / Opening Regatta Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions on the GYA Website (https://www.gya.org).  The Documents can be found under Committees | Capdevielle and Committees | Race Management.  They have been reviewed by both Race Management Committee Members and the GYA Judges.  If you are hosting a Capdevielle event, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THESE TEMPLATES.

Also, the guidelines for competing for the Race Management Excellence Trohpy are published in the Race Management Committee Page.

If you have any questions, please email race.management@gya.org

Thank you.

Viper Bow Numbers

To order bow numbers for your Viper, you will need to go through the Viper web site.  https://v6ca.wildapricot.org/event-3987541

BOW NUMBER MUST MATCH HULL NUMBER – not GYA sail number!!

There are 4 options:

1)   Order a set of black bow numbers (do this if you have a light color hull)
2)   Order a set of white bow numbers (if you have a dark hull)
3)   Order black bow numbers and state ID – light hull (if your state requires your viper to be registered)
4)   Order white bow numbers and state ID – dark hull

Decide which option is right for you, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Register. (You aren’t actually registering for an event; you’ll be taken to the pages for ordering bow numbers.)

Also, when ordering was set up through the Viper site, it was geared toward one-boat owners. There are several clubs and/or individuals who have more than 1 boat so, unfortunately, you’ll need to separately go through the ordering process and submit payment for each boat.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sail Button Purchase and How to Register Sails – Viper 640 International Class Association

Please familiarize yourselves with this information:  https://www.viper640.org/class/sail-button-purchase-and-how-to-register-sails/ . There were several Vipers at the Jr. Lipton Challenge that did not have the proper sail registration buttons on their sails. This could potentially be an issue for this weekend’s Knost Regatta and Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge.
