Letters to mayors:
- Bora Bora: it has been modified, less aggressive
- Punaauia: accuracy of our position, we do not condone wrecks and boats that are no longer maintained
These two letters explain who we are AND ask for an appointment, we do not claim anything, we give the position of the AVP: we do not endorse the occupation of maritime space permanently
Arnaud takes care of the shipment.
Communication within the AVP:
Florent: better communication internally, example on the meeting with Catheriene Rocheteau or the Cluster, no written account, do we have reliable information on the future of the mooring in Taina or PGEM No. 2? If this is the case our duty is to inform the members.
AVP training day for AVP members:
2 hours planned by Mathieu (MAT RIGGING), a Sunday morning in January 2020, with 3 workshops:
- Manila textile
- Chain-cable junction

AVP position:

Creating a working doc for publication:

Article on rescue at sea:
Arnaud
2020 contributions:
It will be necessary to determine the amount of the 2020 membership and also the date of its launch.
If you need money (to launch a legal action, for example) you can also launch a subscription as has been the case in the past.
Bora Bora the shame:
Franc (author of the text) could publish it in the forum but it is not adherent, its text is not published anywhere ... this text is too long and even if it is well written and there are interesting ideas there are also unverifiable points.
Florent is divided on its publication, if we do it will be an open or closed publication? Arnaud has planned a 'hat' that will give the position of the AVP, for example:
"Our members complain about the situation in Bora Bora. We must hear the discontent of these users of the lagoon. If they do not represent the direction that the association is taking, a direction deliberately oriented towards negotiation, discussion and respect for the environment, we must hear some of that.
The Association of Sailors in Polynesia regrets that the measures taken in Bora Bora lead to the privatization of the entire lagoon. We understand the need to organize the particularly busy moorings. But we believe that there should be a free mooring zone, next to the organized moorings. It will not lose the legal concept of coastal shelter and the coexistence of paid and free zones, even limited in time, will guarantee a real service, a real added value of the paid areas.
Beyond freedom, we are committed to enlaning the commons of our lagoons and that the laws governing them are not a de facto privatization of the maritime public domain. Aware that this priceless wealth belongs to all, we would not want it to be for the exclusive use of wealthy tourists but that local sailboats, among other users, can also enjoy it. »
