Dear Speed Sailors,

here is some small correction about the shuttle possibilities. Please read carefully and get in touch with Martin Waldron directly for any questions, confirmations, bookings etc at martin@waldron.ie


Could all intending competitors intending to avail of transport from Dublin airport to Dungarvan and back please indicate this by return. 1) Use of equipment transport at cost of €30.00 return – yes or no 2) Use of bus transport at cost of €30.00 return yes or no


Dublin Airport Radissson – Park Hotel Dungarvan 1900hrs 16/10:

Equipment transport will pass by arrivals area of Dublin Airport at 1500hrs, 1700hrs and 1900hrs on 16/10 stopping for as long as they are allowed, no more than 10 minutes – it will also be present in the car park of The Radisson throughout the afternoon until 1845hrs on 16/10

Coach transfer will be from The Radisson, leaving at 1900hrs on 16/10

The provision of this service at this price requires 34 users or more so it is vital we have responses by close of business 07/10/09

Note: for the vast majority of people, walking your gear to the Radisson should be feasible; it’s a short enough walk.


Park Hotel Dungarvan – Dublin Airport 1100hrs 24/10:

Return journeys are on 24/10 leaving at 1100hrs unless more than half of the users wish for 1000hrs departure to suit earlier flights.

The equipment transfer truck will be present from 0800hrs


Users of the above service are advised that insurance of their own kit is their own responsibility. Users are also advised to satisfy themselves with the loading arrangement of their own gear within the truck. We will be advising the driver that the contents are valuable and fragile but as with any freight, the onus to insure contents is with the owner.


Spaces are limited to 55 people and it has been indicated that a lot of people are bringing partners and children this year so don’t hold off on confirming your seat.

Whilst I am aware that some people may wish to stay on later than the return time of 1100hrs on 24/10, there are many who will be leaving on the 24/10 and therefore will need transport and we can’t leave the majority stranded for the want of the few, therefore single way fares are not possible to ensure we can book the return transport. I hope this is clear!

Betreff: European Speed Championships postponed

Dear Speed Sailors,
due to the bad longterm forecast for the first period of the European Speed Championchips, the classes IKA and ISWC in conjunction with the local organizer decided to postpone the event. The next chance for a start is the first week of November.

There was only a slight chance to get wind from the right direction on a maximum of two days during the event, with generally low wind speeds. The whole period seems to be caught in a south-easterly flow with not much hope of a drastic change.

We will keep you informed on the weather development for the second period, and make early warnings two weeks in advance and a final call one week ahead again.

Hope to see you on the water soon !

Betreff: European Speed Championships - first warning for second period

Let us draw your attention to a small typing mistake in the event programme, the next period ends on Saturday 07.11. and not on Saturday 06.11.
Hope to see you on the water soon !

Dear Speed Sailors !

With a promising southerly flow, the green light has been given to start the European Speed Championships in Dungarvan, Ireland from Sunday 01/11 until Saturday 07/11.

Please find below important information about insurance and equipment transport, which needs to be booked until 26/10 latest !

Details above on-site registration on Sunday 01/11 as well as an updated event programe will be published as soon as possible.

Event registration will be closedon 26/10 18:00 hours. Please make sure that we have received your registration by then to take part in this event.

INSURANCE

Every competitor (without exception) will have to provide proof of 3rd party insurance to the value of €6.5m or GBP5m. It is vital that all competitors check their own insurance policy and ensure it covers them for sailing in Irish waters and in a professional event, many policies have geographical limitations and are also limited to amateur sporting activities and of course if this applies to your policy then you are uninsured for this event.

In the event that someone is unable to provide the documents to the satisfaction of the organisers, membership of the Irish Windsurfing Association and the Irish Kitesurfing Association will be available on site; this will provide you with the requisite insurance cover.

TRANSPORT

Could all intending competitors wishing to avail of transport from Dublin airport to Dungarvan and back please indicate this by close of business 26/10/09 by email to martwald@eircom.net

1) Use of bus & equipment transport at cost of €60.00 return (no single fare option, no split bus and transport option – for organisational reasons) – yes or no

Dublin Airport Radissson – Park Hotel Dungarvan 1900hrs 31/10:

Equipment transport will pass by arrivals area of Dublin Airport at 1500hrs, 1700hrs and 1900hrs on 31/10 stopping for as long as they are allowed, no more than 10 minutes – it will also be present in the car park of The Radisson throughout the afternoon until 1845hrs on 31/10

Coach transfer will be from The Radisson, leaving at 1900hrs on 31/10

The provision of this service at this price requires 34 users or more so it is vital we have responses by close of business 26/10/09

Note: for the vast majority of people, walking your gear to the Radisson should be feasible; it’s a short enough walk.

Park Hotel Dungarvan – Dublin Airport 1000hrs 08/11:

Return journeys are on 08/11 leaving at 1000hrs.

The equipment transfer truck will be present from 1800hrs the previous evening 07/11 – all gear will need to be loaded by 0930hrs 08/11

Users of the above service are advised that insurance of their own kit is their own responsibility. Users are also advised to satisfy themselves with the loading arrangement of their own gear within the truck. We will be advising the driver that the contents are valuable and fragile but as with any freight, the onus to insure contents is with the owner.

Spaces are limited to 55 people and it has been indicated that a lot of people are bringing partners and children this year so don’t hold off on confirming your seat.

We absolutely need to confirm numbers for this service by 26/10/09 to see if we can put it on, as if we can’t, everyone needs time to arrange their own transport. We repeat, if we don’t have 34 users confirmed by close of business we will not be arranging the transport in question.

Es scheint ernst zu werden:

Zitat von Speed:World:Cup

Dear Speed Sailors,
here is some information for everybody attending the 2009 Speed Windsurfing and Kiteboarding Europeans. We have a very good forecast for the upcoming week, with a few days of very strong winds from the perfect direction (WSW), and the rest of the week also looking very promising.
Transport:
We have had a very small take up of the Dublin Dungarvan transport, we are waiting for the final numbers to see if there are any alternatives or if we can match people up to hire together. Anyone thinking of using it who hasn’t indicated that to Martin Waldron, please respond immediately.
Insurance:
There was a bit of surprise indicated by some people to the insurance requirement, we have to point out that this requirement always existed and was noted twice in the event programme (as per the event press releases sent around). The final cost on site for getting insurance for those who have no sufficient coverage is €35.00. The organisers are not making a penny out of this requirement, we just can’t risk being personally liable for a 3rd party claim.
Accommodation:
The vast majority of competitors are staying in the Park Hotel Dungarvan. The discounted rate is €45.00 per person sharing based on double occupancy or €65.00 single occupancy. There are also holiday homes adjacent to the hotel which are owned by the hotel and give access to the pool and sauna which we reckon will be well appreciated at the end of a days November sailing in Ireland.
Other than this, keep all your fingers crossed for good winds.
Your
Speed:World:Cup Team

Wenig Wind, und der noch aus der falschen Richtung. Dafür ein Vorgeschmack auf das 2010er Code Red...

Zitat von E-11

bis heute wind zum frei surfen, aber leider noch kein heat, der 25 % der Teilnehmer Über 33 knoten gebracht hat !!!

Wird irgendjemand schlau aus dem, was da auf der Speedworldcup Seite zu entnehmen ist? Gibt es jetzt ein Ranking? Wie steht es?
Sowas habe ich ja noch nie erlebt...

Heute ist letzter Tag in Dungarvan.

Wie geht das dann? Alter Europameister gleich neuer? Muß mal die Statuten lesen...

Gibt es irgendwo eine andere Seite, wo man was nachlesen kann?
Ausser das um 9.30 Skippersmeeting ist, kann man der Homepage nicht entnehmen. Da haben die schon nur einen Twitter Newsticker, den man von jedem blöden Handy füttern könnte, und nix ist zu entnehmen. Hart, echt hart.
Laut Windguru weht ein strammer Nordwest Wind...
