styling, catering, photography and audio vendors, appoint one event lead and maintain one versioned handover sheet. Record each team&#8217;s lead, pier arrival, approved boarding time, people and equipment, loading route, power and waterproofing needs, teardown owner and change deadline. Do not promise early boarding, electrical connections, storage or extra vendor staff until the yacht operator or Yacht Holimood confirms them in writing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>A yacht is not a hotel ballroom. Pier access may be brief, the vessel may arrive after a previous charter, and storage, refrigeration, power and passageways are limited. If styling cases, food delivery, camera tripods and speakers converge at the gangway, the party can be late before guests even board. The practical answer is to hand over place, time, people and objects\u2014not merely circulate a programme.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"hm-toc\" aria-label=\"Contents\"><strong>Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#roles\">Command structure<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sheet\">Handover sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#timeline\">Boarding-to-teardown timing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#handover\">Vendor details<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#weather\">Safety and weather<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#match\">Yacht Holimood matching<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<h2 id=\"roles\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_with_one_command_structure\"><\/span>Start with one command structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use an event lead, a yacht contact, and one lead each for styling, catering, photography and audio. The event lead submits one consolidated version to the yacht contact. Vendors should not independently move timing or add requests. When safety instructions are issued, the coxswain and crew take priority over the event programme.<\/p>\n<p>Keep only operational data in the shared file: name, phone, arrival time, vehicle or carrying arrangements and equipment list. Do not circulate identity documents, card data or private guest information. Label each issue with a version and timestamp, such as \u201cV3 locked at 6 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sheet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put_responsibility_timing_and_constraints_in_one_sheet\"><\/span>Put responsibility, timing and constraints in one sheet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"hm-table\">\n<div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Vendor<\/th>\n<th>Confirm before departure<\/th>\n<th>Boarding handover<\/th>\n<th>Teardown owner<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Styling<\/td>\n<td>Dimensions, weight, fixing method, prohibited materials and tools<\/td>\n<td>Numbered cases, carriers, work zone and no-block areas<\/td>\n<td>Remove tape, ties, flowers, signs and packaging<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Catering<\/td>\n<td>Portions, allergens, temperature, heating, tableware and waste<\/td>\n<td>Courier, receiver, storage and service sequence<\/td>\n<td>Remove leftovers, vessels, liquids and rubbish as agreed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Photography<\/td>\n<td>Shot list, group-photo time, gear count and privacy needs<\/td>\n<td>Weather protection, batteries, tripod zone and backup<\/td>\n<td>Count all gear and keep the exit route clear<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Audio<\/td>\n<td>Sources, microphones, power, volume limits and rain backup<\/td>\n<td>Wiring plan, test slot, cable fixing and batteries<\/td>\n<td>Power down first, then count cables and adapters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Add a \u201cyacht confirmation required\u201d column.
