Dear all,
the world championship 2009 is approaching and I’ve been asking again about how many crews from your countries you expect would partecipate to the Worlds.
Following is a brief summary of the organization of the Worlds for your information:
Notice of Race has been issued. See the attachment.
Charter boats
Charter boats are available.
Costs are 600€/boat+150€/transport and 500€/sails.
Please, contact cnfaccenda@yahoo.com to arrange for them.
Transportation
The „Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation“ is state owned and the Ministry of Transport has promised to the organising club a discount of 50% on the normal fares. An official statement should arrive in the next few days. It is intended that taxes, harbour rights etc.
will not be discounted, but the final rebate will nevertheless be relevant.
Ferry passages will be possible from Genova and from Marseilles.
I calculated that four people with a car (less than 6 meters long) and a trailer with two boats, will spend:
1) for a return ticket, in armchair accommodation, € 300,00 each person;
2) for a return ticket, in cabin accommodation, € 350,00 each person.
Accomodation
A free camping area is provided on the venue site.
Hotel accommodation is € 35,00 per day (half pension in the four stars hotel on the venue site).
Any update about the World Chamionship will be available on the Vaurien international website www.vaurien.org or on the event website www.snbizertin.com
Best regards and see you in Bizerte
Francesco
