I have just created this new board Local Jeanneau Ambassadors following the excellent suggestion by Alex1949 jeanneau.proboards.com/thread/7499/toughts-on-wintering-israel that it would be very helpful to have a local point of contact for anyone cruising a new area.
The Cruising Association for many years have a similar HLR scheme, which I know has been very helpful, so hopefully this Jeanneau specific resource will also grow in value and use over time.
Of course it needs people to be prepared to offer their informal assistance or advice - maybe simply by email or phone. Local knowledge might range from where there is a good chandler to a recommended restaurant, or how to tackle local bureaucracy or restrictions.
I would strongly recommend that the PM - message section of this forum only is used to share contact information. It is not wise to post email and phone numbers within the public posts.
The geographic area of knowledge really is up to you, but it might make sense to be reasonably specific, suggest not entire countries (unless relatively small like Israel or Malta), but perhaps a sub-region or coasts etc. I don't see a problem either if there are overlaps or duplicates.
If you are prepared to become a Local Ambassador, even if just for a trial period just create a new post on this new board preferably with a brief introduction. This will then allow members of the forum to be able to contact you through the PM message system.
As always very happy for feedback and suggestions on how this may develop or be improved.
Thanks for your support in anticipation.
