Hans,
What also can be done from the UK is that the costs for the ferry are pretty high is to contact one of ferry companies and see if they are willing to sponsor the trip costs or a part of it and when they are saying that the want so advertising on the website or on the beach than this is no problem.
This is a great idea in theory, but the companies want to see a tangible benefit for their sponsership. We would be much better to try and organise this before the event is announced and make a more formal approach from the F16 association as "we" can then offer the (for example) "The P+O Nedlloyd F16 <insert event name>". IMO, we as an association would be better to approach companies for sponsership as we have more clout than individuals doing this. I'm assuming it is to late for this summer, but maybe it is worth investigating for the 2008 event (talking of which do we have any outline plans for even a approx location)
