Charters

Costs for charter will be based on costs incurred to set up private charters.It is recommended that charters are set up 4 - 6 months ahead of the regatta to allow time for setting up the charter arrangements. Overseas competitors will have a priority for charter boats. Boat charters will be separate from the official regatta activities. Brickyard Cove Yachts will seek out of town boats to help fulfill the charter boat needs.

Brickyard Cove Yachts also has charter boats with sails available for individual local 2005 fleet events prior to the Worlds. See sfetchells.org website for the Schedule. For these events charter boat pricing will be $100/day. Local charter boat availability will be on a first come basis.

Insurance for boat charters will be considered in all boat charters. It is easiest for competitors to get a rider on their insurance for their own boat instead of setting up a new insurance account for charter boats. Brickyard Cove Yachts can help with the insurance needs for daily charters for local events.

It will be expected that all competitors return boats in the same condition that they received them. The Official Regatta activities will require that those chartering boats have their names on other hull certificates to conform to IECA rules.
