Prices for container transport to Florida 5 (3)

Good day to all,

just received price updates for St Petersburg Florida for the worlds beginning next year. As world wide at the moment, container prices have dropped substantially. Of course it could change any moment again. I can offer the complete rotation Netherlands-St Petersburg / Florida and back for 1.500,- euro/FD now, based on 6 FD’s per container and price basis now. Subject to Tarif changes, availability of equipment, bunker prices etc. This includes all costs except from a crane to lift off/lift on the containers at the yacht club. Maybe the yacht club is having a boat crane which can do, that would be great, otherwise some additional cost would arise. It is difficult and therefore expensive in Florida to find a truck with a side lifter crane, otherwise that would be the best possibility. Alternative is to have the trucks there when all sailors will be there to take out the boats directly out of the containers while on truck, not very nice and not so easy to organise, but it is possible. I guess the club is not having a ramp, that would be a very nice alternative otherwise. Storage of the containers at the st Petersburg yacht club should be checked as well if possible. Loading in the Netherlands will be at my terminal OBM in Moerdijk, where I do have all the gear. Depending on numbers of boats, we can load the containers at different spots in Europe at additional costs ofcourse, like Milano, Budapest, Munich, Berlin, Steinhude, whatever.

At the moment I do have the following numbers for pre reservations:

GER 8x

ITA 3x

NED 4x

ESP 1x

HUN 6x, think they will organise themselves

Hope this proposal suits us. If there are questions, please feel free to ask.

cheers

YUASA CUP 2023 5 (1)

ESP, National News

The eighth edition of the Yuasa Regatta took place from July 1st to 3rd in the waters of Altea Bay. Seven boats competed in this regatta, fewer than the previous edition, but that didn’t make the competition any less tough and exciting.

The first day of the regatta was threatened by a strong wind forecast. On Friday morning, that forecast became a reality, but despite the strong wind blowing at around twenty knots, the committee raised the delta flag, and all the sailors set out. It didn’t take long to realize that the wind was too strong to sail, and to prevent any accidents, the committee decided to cancel the races for that day.

Thus, the regatta actually started the following day. As soon as the wind picked up, the seven boats hit the water to enjoy a sunny day with moderate winds that allowed for three races to be held. Right from the start, ESP-6, with Gines Romero and Alvaro Moreno, dominated the regatta, ending the day with three first-place finishes and a flawless record. The second and third positions were more fiercely contested, with ESP-1 and ESP-90 alternating between third and second place in all three races, finishing the day with only one point of difference.

With the leaderboard very tight and only three races completed, the regatta entered its final day, which was marked by challenging conditions due to the light wind. The team of ESP-17, Marco Sevila and Nacho Seguí, had a strong performance, starting the day with a first-place finish and then securing two second-place finishes, moving up to the fourth position and posing a threat to ESP-90 and ESP-1, who finished third and second, respectively.

ESP-6 was crowned the champion, followed by ESP-90 with Jose Pastor and Carlos Gastaldi, and in third place, Juan Ignacio Egea Moreno and Juan Ignacio Egea Aguado.

In conclusion, it was a perfect regatta, thanks to the Altea Yacht Club and GS-YUASA, with a variety of wind conditions that allowed for a fair and highly competitive competition.
