  5. Events 2009 The 2009 season will be a exciting one with an entry in the OSTAR, for which Oscar is the youngest competitor in race history, as well as the historic Fastnet Race . These are hugely publicised races, and with the help of modern technology, race tracking and on the water video footage they become inspiring and highly lucrative sponsorship opportunities. A photo of the north Atlantic shows just what sets these races apart and why they are so inspiring to follow.

  6. The Future As well as the OSTAR the team are looking to compete in the 2009 Fastnet race, as well as the 2010 Round Britain and Ireland race. Future races include La Route du Rhum, The Transat Jacques Vabre, and the ARTEMIS Transat, The team’s ultimate goal is the 2016 Vendee Globe Solo Around The World Race, pitting the world’s best sailors against each other in the toughest sporting event on the planet.

  9. The boat The Class 40 is a low budget offshore rally car, designed for speed! Its wide beam and striking looks make it the ultimate marketing machine attracting attention around the world. Built using the latest technology the Class 40 is light and fast, however restrictions in construction rules help to keep the class affordable. Class 40 has enjoyed a dramatic growth over the past three years with well over seventy boats already registered.

  10. Summary The team is keen to step up to the next level and is seeking a sponsor whose support will allow us to charter a Class 40 to enter the races previously outlined. Sailing sponsorship has proved in the recent past to be a very lucrative and successful investment, with examples such as B&Q and Hugo Boss.
