Sailing the Viper is a revelation, combining astonishing performance, terrific sailing feel, minimal maintenance and sail costs, simple crew requirements, launched at any tide, and towed by any vehicle.

It's the sailing feel that has attracted enthusiastic sailors in the US to the Viper 640. But despite the high-tech, high-performance nature of the design, every boat in the fleet regularly sails with family members as crew. With no spinnaker pole to handle and low loads on control lines, many boats are competitive with crew members as young as nine. Most boats in the US fleet last year raced with women on board, either as skipper or crew.

Come and have a trial sail on the VIPER.

Dates:

  • Lymington - Sunday 27th October
  • Lymington - Sunday 3rd November
  • Hamble - 16-17th November
