With 305 boats now entered, the Crewsaver Topper Nationals are all set to be one of the biggest Nationals of the summer. The event will see 255 sailors racing in the main 5.3 fleet, 29 sailors racing in the 4.2 fleet and the remainder in the regatta fleet. Racing will run from Sunday 4th August - Friday 9th August and takes place at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
Crewsaver who aim their sponsorship at supporting the regular sailor, will be title sponsor of the event providing an array of prizes to the winners of each class. Tom Dixon, Chairman of the class, has been delighted to welcome Crewsaver as title sponsor quoting 'it's great to have such a high end brand supporting the class and gives us the opportunity to be able to offer top quality products as prizes to competitors.'
As part of the sponsorship Crewsaver have also teamed up with the local chandlery Bussels in order to offer 20% off all Crewsaver products to the sailors and their families. A bargain not to be missed during the event!
Greg O'Brien Sales & Marketing Manager for Crewsaver quotes 'we are extremely pleased to be supporting the Topper Class; it is a great class with some very talented sailors.'
The sailors are very excited to be returning to the WPNSA 2012 Olympic Venue, where they will benefit from racing at a world class venue with all of its fantastic facilities and often good winds.
Onshore should not be a disappointment either with some exciting entertainment lined up for each night including Dragon Racing and a hog roast.
Competitors are also able to purchase specially made Crewsaver Topper Nationals Clothing, giving them a long lasting memory of the event. Details of the clothing can be found here.
