Now that all 7 of these countries have qualified for the Pan Am Games (through
the Western Hemisphere & Orient champs), once your country had held your
trials and choosen your Pan Am competitors, PLEASE contact me immediately if
you,

1) will ship or bring your own boat
2) need to charter a boat

The sooner we know your need for a charter boat, the better chances we have of
negotiating a charter fee and arranging transportation of the boat to the
regatta site.  If you do not contact me, you will be left on your own to find
a charter boat (and Manitoba is a long way from any Snipe fleet!)

I look forward to hearing from you all soon,
best regards,
Jerelyn
