Harken UK are delighted to confirm the prize package for the 2013 UK 29er Harken Grand Prix. As title sponsors of the 29er Grand Prix, Harken UK have worked closely with the 29er Class Association to ensure their continued support reaches across a range of sailing levels within the fleet.
Every entry to the 2013 UK 29er Harken Grand Prix will receive a registration pack which will include a Harken document case, and goodies like a Harken Lanyard, Wet Notes and sample of McLube.
All 8 Grand Prix events will receive a prize pack for 5 teams per event. Prizes will be awarded to 1st 2nd and 3rd placed boats, 1st junior team and 1st female team for each event.
Finally, leaving the best till last Harken UK Ltd have generously donated the following prizes for the Overall Winners of the 2013 UK 29er Harken Grand Prix:
- 1st Overall – £400 Harken UK Voucher
- 1st Junior Team – Harken Sponsorship for 1 year to the value of £700
- 1st Female Team – £200 FSE Robline Rope refit pack for a 29er
There will also be further prizes for 2nd Overall, 2nd Female Team Overall, 3rd Overall, 4th Overall, Endeavour and Endeavour (Female Team).
"As a company we are always keen to ensure our sponsorship reaches right across a fleet we have sponsored. We're always looking to ensure prizes are provided for endeavour and female places. This year we have provided a range of vouchers for Harken hardware systems and FSE Robline rope refit packs, by doing this we can help these up and coming sailors upgrade their 29ers to our latest systems which we hope will help them stay at the front of the fleet." Comments Tom Peters, Harken UK Sales Manager.
"We are really pleased with the range of level of prizes Harken are providing for the GP series. The prizes will be an excellent reward for those that put the commitment in and will ensure that the winners are able to maintain their boats to the highest standard. Providing prizes for juniors, females and endeavours highlights our desire to recognise the efforts of everyone in the fleet especially those who may be newer to the class." Commented Ben Cooper Chairman 29er class association.
