I want to see if Clean can talk (charm ) his way in I hope we can rely on him for coverage

No problem- didn't want you to end up upsetting people by selling them something that the regulations pretty much don't allow- otherwise I'd have been interested in a berth onboard!

And a higher profile 'commercial entity' as well.

What did you expect? This isn't just a sailing regatta, it's an Olympic venue and therefore a much higher profile security risk than any normal sailing event.

the chart is bascially a case of "spectator boat eh? f*** off, you're not welcome"

for more, check out this page at the RYA and especially this chart. They will have security patrols to chase people off and I think powers of arrest over those who violate the exclusion zones.

you do realise that access anywhere close enough to the race course to make viewing from boats worthwhile is highly, highly restricted, yes? As in, even to get in and out of the harbours will require an escort.

I have a 12 berth converted 24metre trawler with 3 RIBs which I'm looking to fill for the Olympic sailing next year. This would allow accomodation (full board) and viewing from a large sun deck as well as the RIBs.
Where would be the best place to advertise the availability of this vessel? Edited by cornelius - 27 Jun 11 at 11:45am |
