    All Int 14 sailors

    Please see the attached web page link below from the Sail Melbourne web site

    announcing that they have concluded a subsidised shipping agreement with P&O

    Nedloyd & Schenkers to ship Olympic & invited classes to Melbourne for the Sail

    Melbourne regatta.

    The Sail Melbourne regatta includes the Australian 14 nationals at Black Rock

    Yacht Club from the 31st of December to 10 Jan 2004.

    The invited classes are Olympic Classes, 420's and
    FD's. We have spoken with the Sail Melbourne organisers and they are happy to

    have International 14 sailors who wish travel
    to Australia for our Nationals piggyback onto these shipping arrangements.

    Sail Melbourne is presently limited to 20, 40 ft, containers in their sponsorship

    arrangements and priority will be given to Olympic and invited world championship

    classes, namely 420's and FD's. If Sail Melbourne orgainsers do not get up to

    their limit of 20 containers they will accept a full container of 14's, otherwise

    spare container spaces can be made available to interested 14 sailors.

    Interested sailors should first contact their Member National Authorities(National

    Sailing body) to express their interest in filling any spare places in containers

    traveling to Melbourne for this event. Sail melbourne organisers see the advantages

    in the filling of containers to lower costs and thereby make it cheaper for

    all classes to travel to the Sail Melbourne Regatta.

    This is an opportunity for the german fleet especially to link up with the FD's

    and come to Sunny Oz instead of going skiing for the XMAS break. Similarly UK

    based sailors might link up with the 420 fleet to fill boxes where space is

    available.

    Please follow this link to the shipping terms, conditions and approximate pricing

    from various ports. http://www.sailmelbourne.com.au/events/shipping.php

    Andrew Perry
    President Victorian Int 14's.
