Transport from The Netherlands

Update 12 October 2008
hello sailors,
 
Due to some reasons, loading for New Zealand needs to take place this coming weekend saturday 18 okt starting at 10:00h. The main reasons are that customs most likely do not work in Napier between christmas en new year and the shipping line calling directly at Napier from Rotterdam is only a 3 weeks service. I am sorry for the late information, but I know this only since friday. All dutch sailors are informed already. For the others, please give a reply that you can be there. Advantage is that the boats will be in New Zealand already at 9th dec, so extentensive training programs are possible.


Update 2 October 2008

Hello FD friends!
 
Time has come to make final arrangements for shipment to New Zealand. At the moment I am trying to arrange a somewhat better price than before but cannot promise so far. Come back on this subject next week. On the other hand it looks like we need to load a little bit earlier than previously announced (this was 15th nov), I think maybe 1st or 8th nov, due to the fact that its most likely that customs do not work in NZL between Christmas and new year, also this depends on the final shipping line and sailing schedules we take. Hope/think to have this information by next week as well. In the mean time I would like to receive a confirmation if you still intend to go and like to make use of my container-arrangements: please confirm by email only so far. If you know sailors who like to go but are not on the list, please send me their email addresses as well.       
 
See you,

WK New Zealand Container transport from Europe:
For the FD worlds championship in Napier New Zealand beginning of 2009 I can offer the following transport indications for all FD sailors in Europe who are interested:
Loading at our inland container facility OOC in Oss the Netherlands, on Saturday 15th November 2008. (now changed to 18 October)

Boats will arrive in New Zealand about 25th of December.

Return in Oss and unloading will be on Saturday the 22nd February 2009.
 
Total price from Oss to Napier and back to Oss by 40´ containers will be 1200,- euro/FD, based on full container loads (6 FD´s/container) and price levels as per today.

Prices may change due to oil bunkering price differences and so on, but I guess it is fairly reliable. The same goes for the sailing schedule. Maybe it is possible to get some subsidies but that is not clear yet. We are open for good suggestions! Most likely it is possible to offer transport insurance like previous.  Will inform you about that as well.               
 
If you are interested please do a preliminary subscription already, so I can get an idea of the total number of boats. Final subscription will be late October this year probably.

Please use my new email address as provider has changed:
 
See you on the water!
