QUESTIONS? Can I change my move in time? If your vessel is located inside the primary Grid every boat needs to be on the time and date specified. Sea Trial Vessels and Vessels outside the primary grid should arrive at their designated time. Please contact Scott Cohen if you have any questions about your target time. Why cant I run Fisherman's Channel? This is a binding part of our operational permit with DERM. Anyone running the channel that is participating in the show is violating the terms of the agreement and will be dismissed from the show. What if I want to Sea Trial my boat and do not have a Sea Trial Pennant? Confirm with Scott Cohen that you have contracted for a Sea Trip Slip. Only vessels contracted for Sea Trial Slips are provided the proper credentials. Can I bring my own tent? No, all structures and tents have to be permitted and installed by EventStar. Can I use my Sea Trial boat as a Staff Shuttle? Yes, but you must confirm this with NMMA Staff and we will provide you with the proper access credentials. All staff arriving by boat must check in at the T-Dock on PIER 1. 20
