Schweppes Viper World Championship Cocktail Party

by Bernie Kaaks 21 Feb 2018 08:32 GMT 19-23 February 2018

After a hard day's sailing with four races completed, sailors were able to let their hair down at the Western Australian Maritime Museum for a cocktail party.

In the shadows of the iconic Australia II (the real yacht, not a replica) and Jon Sanders' Parry Endeavour, the yacht that carried him around the globe single handed, non-stop for three circuits, Viper competitors enjoyed local wines and some great camaraderie knowing that a sleep-in was possible this morning with a lay-day scheduled.
