Mark,
I take it you are taking on the mantle and making all the arrangements with this, are Peters and May who you will be contracting and are you close to coming up with costs
Crawford

I am looking at costs now from P&M & am looking into alternative shippers, I don't want to scare anyone on costs, first indicators have shown little rise, the budget is £800 per boat to be fully inclusive of all taxes, insurance & transport.

We have 9 confirmed to go I am sure we can manage another 7 to make up the second container, please contact me if you are sitting on the fence it will make a differnce to all concerned as we negotiate price.

We want to get all this wrapped up by Xmas & can then get on with sailing the boats.

Any updates on the shipping..?

Will,

I'll get on to Peter's & May for a few more details, but loading at Liverpool will help the costs, with Crawford & Steve Brown travelling down this may well be a fair option.

I do have another shipping company to chase, I'll get on to them & report back. we have the 8 boats for the first container, Rob Lyne at Allen Bros is setting up an account to do the payment transfers.

Regards to all Mark...

Norman, sailing 6403 has dropped out & so I am chasing another boat to commit to the first container, to maintain capacity at 8 boats.

For the moment I am awaiting a revised cost from Db.Schenker, as a comparison to that of Peters & May, these things do take a little time, ensuring parity. There is however no reason for any concern at this moment.

I can say, with some authority, that this shipping route is straightforward & therefore the duration of shipping is likely to be no more than 4 weeks in total.

I am after more boats to commit to this Championship, with a the 3 home clubs fielding around 70 boats this will be the largest fleet of Albs for some time. Anyone thinking about it needs to get their name down here as it will change the shipping & reduce costs which are currently £800 per boat.

"Dress Pants" ... Im not sure they really mean that, not at least the way the brits would interpret it

Perhaps we should set up an alternate bar and club-house in the container? Shorts or bathing suits mandatory.

Can't believe it the new venue for the 2011 Interantional has a beever bar...

THE CITY CLUBHOUSE
Conveniently located at 141 St. George Street near fashionable Yorkville, the City Club is just minutes away by subway or car from the financial and business district.

The City Club Facilities

•4000 square foot fitness facility
•5 international singles squash courts
•1 doubles squash court
•3 badminton courts
•20 metre heated indoor swimming pool
•Formal and informal dining and social areas
•Crown & Beaver bar
•Meeting and catering facilities
•Private parking

Perhaps a few pictures of the "Beaver Bar" and/or "Beaver Fleet" posted on this forum would make this the most popular sailing website in the world

I see the Beaver Bar has caught your eye !

Not to disappoint you but The Crown & Beaver bar is RCYC's city side bar in the winter & our dinners will be held on the Island.

It will be a great week & we look forward to hosting you!

Mr. Silver Fox
You stood me up at the UK Nats in Torquay a few years ago.
Looking forward to meeting you

Hi Beavers 1 and 2
Nice to see that things are moving on, the islands look great, where would be the best place to drop our container?
Hope you still have the chicken suit Christine, it suited you well, although I think it best fitted "The Silver Beaver" perhaps check out the stitching, not sure how we control him, seems he is already on the scent!

All the Best
