To National Secretaries and
intending competitors in the 2003 FD Worlds:
The Australian FD Association looks forward to
seeing you in Melbourne for the World Championship.
1) As advised the containers that your boats will
be shipped in will be stored securely at the Ronstan premises,
approximately 4km from Sandringham Yacht Club. The Club and the Australian
FD sailors will transport boats from Ronstan to the Yacht Club prior to
the series.
Access to the containers will be limited during
the championship, so all
of your equipment must be transferred with the
boats and will be kept at
Sandringham Yacht Club for the duration of the
series, rather than left
in the containers. To help with the job of
transferring your boat and
equipment, could you please ensure that all
equipment and items sent in
the containers are packed in the boats rather
than spread throughout the container, and are clearly marked with the name
and contact details of
the skipper. If any equipment is not able to be
packed in your boat,
please ensure that the equipment is boldly marked
with your name and
boat's sail number.
2) There have been some problems with the Sail
Melbourne internet address. The correct address is :
3) Australian FD Association president David Ham
has had a computer virus, and some emails may have gone unanswered. Please
also address any queries about the Worlds to myself (
afu@bigpond.com
).
I wish you a good trip to Australia and hope to
meet up with you all in Melbourne.
could you please pass this on to any sailors
coming to Melbourne.
Regards,
Andrew Belford
Secretary,
International Flying Dutchman Class Association
(Australia)
