I have a boat purchased at the worlds,and it needs a change of ownership cert.The boat is owned in Trinidad our neighbouring island,it's the first boat there so no DM.Can i issue him one out of BAR?can the boat carry TRI or will it have to be BAR?If not what do we do,the guy is a pilot and probably ...

Excellent idea Roy 100% behind you on that.Coupled with the buddy system it will bring the number of people back up officiating the heat,why not even 2 buddys with the judge.The other problem we face is the pool of international judges with IOM experience is very small thats why i'm in favour of the...

I also find it absolutely necessary to say that in no way whatsoever am i ridiculing anyone on the organizing comittie or the judges who gave of thier time and effort,without them there would be no regatta and they all did a superb job,my point here from the outset is the cost of running the event a...

I shall go back to my previuos post using judges from the region of a regatta to cut cost.As i said the buddy system i like and we need to work on this.Judges in Barbados,Don Martin(vancouver to Barbados IOM expierience lota money lovely guy)(local guy never sailed an IOM but judged last year cheap ...

I've done Vancouver 2003 and this one,my memory of Vancouver was quite a wait betwene heats,this one seemed alot faster to me for some reason.With servos breaking down and broken stays on the No1 rig,i would never have had the time to get the boat ready for the next heat if it were 3.I therefore am ...

I would say that if the requirements for the control area be more than has already been provided in the past,it would be even better than it has already been with no complaints that i know about.The organizing comittie of this event are skilled people,maybe you should ask them on it's height and des...

I am not aware if this thread is meant to be a general observation or pertaining to the 2009 worlds.It's not Vancouver,all i can say is that the last 5 yrs we have run events here visibility and course direction have been good or at the very least acceptable, and i am shure some of the posters who h...

I will say as a probable competitor and not being on the organizing comittie(1) Lunch at the Boatyard is inexpensive beach bar type of enviorment.Burgers fish sandwitch type of food so wont be expensive(2)Acomadation at this time of year are off season rates unless you stay upmarket again inexpensiv...

To anyone who has not been here before,YOUR BOAT MUST BE PREPARED FOR HEAVY WEATHER SALTWATER SAILING.Boats that leak usually break down in these conditions.Regards Peter Allen

I use lacquer thinners found at any paint shop,works as good as acetone.Same procedure as Steve.

Hi Peter, - No Moments of Truth--- It has been several weeks since I have had a fantastic time at the Mount Gay /Boatyard regatta. However, attending the regatta was a must for me although there were many issues that would have made me abort the trip. Evidence of that was seen with the problems I ex...

Peter,

Looks like the support team made a great impression and the event was run professionally.

Good going. Congratulations

Dick

Hopefully with their enthusiasm and in telling others about the Mount Gay regatta - that you will have more persons join in next year. Be...

Hi Peter, Back at work now and it already seems like it was sooooo long ago that I was on your beautiful island (when is the next regatta? ). Just wanted to send a quick e-mail on behalf of Lori and myself to express our deepest gratitude to you, Shane, Penny, Andrew, Andrew, Garth, Billy, Tony, Ra...

Dear Peter, Since returning from your beautiful island and the most unique IOM regatta in the world my feet haven't touched the water! Susie and I would like to thank you, Shane and ALL the crew for your hospitality. From the moment we arrived to the last goodbye's nothing was too much trouble. You ...

Dear Peter I just wanted to thank you personally for the huge amount of time and effort that you put in to the Mount Gay Regatta. It was a really enjoyable time during which we were thoroughly spoilt. It was great to have some time away and relax. I have some great memories of our holiday and hope t...

Dear Peter, Over a week has flown by since we got back safely. I think jet lag is beginning to show at last. On return we got stuck into work and we have been getting more and more tired as the days go by! However we have not forgotten the wonderful time we had with you and the other sailors in Barb...
