Help needed for logistics of 420 WM/JEM

Dear parents and coaches of the 420 sailors,

The 420 board is currently organizing the JEM and WM 2019. We'd like to forward you some informations about the logistics and the organization and are asking for your help. 

JEM and WM will be coached by Nikos and Damir. Carmen will support the Swiss Team on land during the JEM. The accommodation for both events has been booked.

On Friday 5.4. the 420 board, Beisitzer and board-parents will have the next meeting where we will finalize among other topics, the travel and JEM/WM preparation dates and how we could solve the difficult logistics for JEM/WM this summer:

We need to tackle the following transport of 7-10 sailing boats, 2 motorboats, sailors and coaches to the following destinations:
1) From Switzerland to the training camp in Vilagarcia (arriving 13.6.)
2) the transfer from Vilagarcia to the WM in Vilamoura (between 18. and 28.6.)
3) the  transfer back from Vilamoura to Vilagarcia for the JEM (between 12. and 19.7.)
4) From Vilagarcia back home (31.7.-?)

To avoid that every family or region has to find their own way to and from the events, we are trying to find the smoothest and cheapest solution for all Swiss 420 concerning the preparation camp, the WM and the JEM.

Therefore we will need your help:

Nikos, Damir and I have looked at all the events and came up that we need the following vehicles and drivers to cater for the whole group:

  • 2 Motorboats
  • 2 trailers (each fitting one motorboat and two 420s)
  • 1 trailer fitting 3-4 420s)
  • buses where we can load a 420 on the roof and fit a lot of kids for local transport
  • 1 car
  • several drivers for the 4 legs
2 buses (with roof capacity) and trailers with mobos would be  needed for the whole time: ca.12.6. -ca.1.8.2019 
1 car and trailer (with our idea to solve the logistics (including Nikos and Damir driving)  would only be needed to drive from Switzerland to Vilagarcia arriving 13.6. and right back (without the trailer)

We already got:
The SST youth team Casco/Schick who is entitled to use the SST motorboat and trailer would give it to the group for general use. Thank you.

-> Dear Parents and coaches: Please check in with your clubs and in in your neighborhood, and tell us if you have any of the above materials  that we could use (and please add if the use is free or which conditions apply for the 420 class to rent  the trailers, mobos and cars/busses)
-> Drivers: Nikos and Damir are willing to do some of the driving. But they are professional coaches and need to be paid for their time. If we find cheaper solutions, we all can save money. So again please locate if you know about any grandparents, parents, students, … who would be willing and able to drive one or more leg. 

If possible let me or one of the members of the board meeting know by Friday 5.4., if your club or somebody privat can give or lend us some material. 

I hope we can all work together to find the best solution for the kids and coaches and the cheapest for us. Thanks a lot. 

We will continue to contact you about the exact travel dates, we are about to find cheap and convenient solutions for flights (so the kids will miss as little school as possible) and further information. 

Kind regards,

Maja (mother to Malin 420 president)
