Deposit for West Coast <-> Kingston NA's Shipping

[Eric Anderson]

TL;DR: Please send me $$ if you want to ship to Kingston!

Hi All,

We have ~7 boats interested in shipping West Coast <-> Kingston NA's this year.  Because the transport options are pretty different if we have 6 vs 8 boats, I'd like to collect deposits for this trip a little earlier in the process than usual, to firm up numbers.

Here are the details as I know them:

1. Loading will happen sometime late week of 8/4 in San Francisco, likely on a weekday.
2. Unloading will happen Friday 8/15 @ CORK (still confirming) to facilitate sailing Canadian Nationals (NOR https://theclubspot.com/regatta/ns2BC7CFqt)
3. I am working with organizers to facilitate boat movement CORK -> KYC midweek for NA's out of KYC.  NA's NOR is
   
   https://kingstonyachtclub.ca/regattas
4. We will reload the boats Sun 8/24
5. We will unload the boats in SF when they get home.
6. I do not have quotes yet. When we went to Kingston in 2019 it was $14k round trip. I will communicate this information as I get it. If quotes are wildly out of line with this, we can reevaluate.

I would like to collect a $1000 deposit from each team to confirm their shipping spot. If you want to ship to NA's, please send me this deposit promptly.

Here are the terms of the deposit:

- If no west coast group shipping happens, the deposits will be returned less any expenses (which might include e.g. tipping agents who have done work for us etc).  I expect expenses in this case to be near zero.

- If west coast group shipping does happen, and you choose not to go, the deposit is nonrefundable and will help defray the costs of others.

- If west coast group shipping happens but capacity is such that some boats are excluded, those deposits will be returned.  I do not expect this to be the case/am working on accommodating all interest, but can't promise anything yet.

- This deposit does not guarantee you a way to get your boat to Kingston.  It gives you higher priority than anyone not giving a deposit and gives me a firm number of boats to attempt to accommodate. If you make a deposit and the boats are delayed/otherwise miss the event, or if the shipping falls through due to lack of interest, I am not liable for getting your boat to Kingston and/or for reimbursing costs you may have incurred in anticipation of the event.  That being said, I will obviously do everything I can to make this container happen/have everything work out, as I have done in the past.

Electronic payment is best: paypal or zelle (eric.t.a...@gmail.com) or venmo (@eric-t-anderson).

Best,

Eric

Eric - I can go with you guys if I can pay Rick Peters to pick up and drop off my boat in Long Beach.

Hi all, 

Reminder to send me deposits if you want to be included in shipping plans.

Also please be aware that we received a scam email trying to get deposits sent somewhere else using an email that was the same as mine except one letter different. 

Here is my payment information:

paypal or zelle (eric.t.a...@gmail.com) or venmo (@eric-t-anderson).

Hi All,

I am starting to make shipping plans. If you are planning on shipping to NA's, please send me a deposit! Otherwise we will start making plans without you :(

I currently have deposits from:

Mike Martin

Howie

Tim Murphy

(Me)

These people have previously expressed interest, but I don't have deposits from them:

@Mike Holt (but he and I have separately sorted this out)

@Jimmy Franzone are you planning to ship to NA's?

@Rob Waterman maybe as well?

You left the tires from the world’s container at ACSC. It would be great if you can remove them and store them somewhere else. We literally don’t have space for them. This is one of our summer camp class rooms. Camps start next week. 

Thanks, 

Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry about this, I didn't know as I wasn't at the unload. They shouldn't have done that.

Yes, we can take care of this. I will get them this week.
