TOPIC:

Has anyone given any thought to the Internationals in Toronto next year?



They did a presentation for us at Largs last year which can be found here: albacore.ca/2011internationals but if we're going to ship boats over there we need to start the ball rolling.

I believe there is quite an interest in the Beaver Fleet .



The 2011 UK nationals are being scheduled in June (subject to venue confirmation) to allow time for shipping.




I would like to be there, but am erring towards the beg/borrow/lease route.

Norman, you could find yourself with a job here, Nev & I will be wanting a container slot.

Well, whilst I know absolutely nothing about shipping things overseas, let alone containering Albacores, I had wondered about finding out how hard/easy it might be. Asolutely no promises of doing anything, but certainly finding out a bit more.

Hence the posting - I was trying to see how much interest there might be. There's no point doing the work unless there's some prospect of filling the container.

The responses to the thread are very disappointing, so I've done nothing.

I think the lack of response could be due to the new design of the Forum. It certainly took me a while to recreate my login and be in a position to post a reply.

I'm sure I could find a list of email addresses for the direct approach if you want?

Yes, much thought. But I probably can't go! The crew's playing hard to get (and he's the one with the relations/free bunks/etc. in the area).
But, I'm absolutely sure that there are already serious plans and preparations being made by the Shetlanders. They'd be well worth contacting directly if anybody wants to keep the plans together.
