Sponsorship Opportuinty
“Class40” is one of the most interesting offshore yacht racing concepts created in the last decade. This is borne out by the steadily increasing number of boats and the quality of sailors switching to these relatively small, but incredibly fast and exciting boats.
There are many races dedicated to the Class 40 and the media coverage is increasing steadily. The most exciting news is the recent announcement of the 2013/14 Global Ocean Race for these 40 foot yachts; it is an event that will no doubt dominate the yachting media in 2013/14.
The Global Ocean Race is the primary reason I am seeking your sponsorship, but there is far more benefit to you in my proposal. Class 40 boats participate in International events that are planned warm up races to the Global Ocean Race. Examples are the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, the Melbourne to Hobart, Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race, and the Route De Rhumb. These are significant and famous and also attract major media coverage that will further expose your company to welcome publicity.
This document focuses on the sponsorship of a Class 40 yacht whose name may be determined by your company. It is a wonderful chance to be involved in many exciting and international events that will ultimately boost your company’s media exposure. It will provide an excellent opportunity to market your company, develop business relations and if you are an international company develop company global team spirit. I certainly believe that you will gain more in profits than you spend in sponsorship!
Advertising
Your sponsorship may range from full sponsorship with your logo on the hull, sails, mast and boom to a small sticker on the hull or boom. Depending the level of sponsorship commitment that you wish to offer, it is possible to sponsor the Class 40 for anywhere between $1000 and $600,000.
Your logo will be displayed on the boat and on team members clothing. Interviews will be organised on the boat with various media and your company logo will be visible and your name mentioned and published around the world. For full sponsorship The boat will be re-named with the name of your choice.
