Dear Competitor,
I hope your training for the Europeans advances well. We have tried to give you variable weather and winds to give you an impression of how conditions may be in Helsinki.
We are lucky to have a large boat & car & trailer park but it would be better if we agreed on how to use that space.
My strong recommendation is – as presented graphically on the attached document Boat park:
1. All boats are parked stern to the fence.
2. Big road trailers and cars are parked further south, towards the tip of Hernesaari.
3. Tool boxes and box trailers would be parked closer to the buildings, leaving a safety passage of 6 m as required by the authorities.
I hope we can agree on this.
On another issue: We operate in rented facilities. The tools and other equipment in the hall is our landlord’s property. For this reason we cannot lend you any tools and you cannot just borrow things off the shelves.
Thanks for your understanding,
Event Mangement,
Patrick

Venue Map
The map below shows the course areas and the routes to take to get to the Course area C. To the W-NW of the W mark on Course area C there is a rock that may be risky for a 49er. We will mark it with buoys before racing start.
Note that to get to Course area C boats have to cross a fairway used by Tallinn ferries and other large ships. Care must be taken when crossing it and the organisers will supervise that area when needed.
When sailing to the area, you need to sail round the red mark buoy at the northern tip of Melkki island. The shallow area to the North of that mark extends to the NW of the mark as can be seen on a chart. You are also advised not to sail too close to the Lauttasaari island.
The courses will be laid so as to ensure that there is enough navigable water on all sides of the leeward marks and the starting line. It is useful, however, to study the area on the chart.
