NOVEMBRE A HYERES - MORE THAN 50 BOATS EXPECTED!

NOVEMBRE A HYERES 2005 : more than 50 boats expected ! Races from Saturday 29th of October to Tuesday 1st of November 2005

If Novembre à Hyères has been, for a few years now, the greatest European winter regatta, this year is a special year, as, before the World 2006, the number of participants will reach 50 boats and even more.

As usual, Novembre à Hyères is gathered with the French Championship during which more than 200 boats are expected on 3 or 4 sites. Our class will be the most represented and that is a very good thing for the Melges24 image.

To confirm your participation, please use the form available on the Championnat de France Monotype site at :

www.coych.org/ "Championnat de France monotype 2005" rubrique "inscription" (the French form is ok for all the nations).
or at :
www.melges24.fr where you will also find the list of pre-inscriptions
and please send a mail to E-mail info@melges24.fr

Novembre A Hyères will be preceded by the Annual General Meeting of the IMCA World Council.

A special bureau has been set up by the Office du Tourisme to help you to find the best accomodation for you and your relatives during the World 2006 .

SPECIAL STORAGE DURING WINTER

For all those that wish to leave their boat, especially for the English and Northern participants, the boats can be stored in Hyères during winter, before the Italian regattas, Primo Cup and SNIM and between these regattas, in order to parcicipate to the trainings forecasted before the World 2006.

We can also organise tranfers of boats to Marseille or Monaco so that you will only have to take the aircraft.

See you soon in Hyères,
