TO: ALL 6mR OWNERS
-------------------------------------

NORMALLY THE ORGANIZER OF A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HAS 2 YEARS TO PREPARE FOR
THE EVENT. DUE TO THE POSTPONEMENT/CANCELLATION OF THE PORTO FINO WORLDS
ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 2001, THE 2003 CHAMPIONSHIP HAS NOT YET
BEEN DECIDED.

THE LARCHMONT YACHT CLUB, LOCATED ON THE WESTERN END OF LONG ISLAND SOUND,
30 MILES EAST OF NEW YORK CITY, IS A CANDIDATE FOR RUNNING THE WORLDS IN
SEPTEMBER OF 2003. THIS DECISION MUST HOWEVER BE TAKEN VERY SHORTLY AND
CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT AGM IN COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 4/10.

WE NEED TO ASCERTAIN AT THIS POINT THE LIKELY NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS, IN A
WORLD CUP AT LARCHMONT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003 AND THEREFORE REQUEST THAT ALL
OWNERS WHO INTEND TO SEND THEIR BOATS TO THIS EVENT, RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL
IN AN AFFIRMATIVE WAY TO midocean@worldnet.att.net
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE REQUEST ONLY ONE RESPONSE PER BOAT AND ONLY IF YOU
INTEND TO PARTICIPATE. THIS IS NOT A BINDING ENTRY.

FURTHERMORE FOR YOUR GUIDANCE, PRELIMINARY ROUND TRIP ARRANGEMENTS AND
ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN MADE FOR SHIPMENTS OF BOATS, FROM A EUROPEAN/UK PORT IN
HIGH CUBE 40' CONTAINERS, TO LARCHMONT N.Y., LOADING, UNLOADING FROM
CONTAINERS, BOATYARD HANDLING IN/OUT, AND THE REVERSE FOR THE RETURN TRIP
BACK TO EUROPE. MOORINGS AND ENTRY FEES, WHICH INCLUDES SOCIAL EVENTS FOR 5
CREWMEMBERS, SUCH AS WELCOMING /OPENING PARTY AND AWARDS DINNER.
COST ESTIMATE IS $10,000.
IN ADDITION, EACH BOAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCOMMODATIONS AND TRAVEL
ARRANGEMENTS.
OBVIOUSLY NO SPONSORSHIP IS IN PLACE AT THIS POINT SO THE ABOVE COSTS CAN BE
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF ATTRACTING
SPONSOR SUPPORT.

BEST REGARDS TO ALL
