Join Our Crew with Helly Hansen and YachtsandYachting.com

Global sailing brand, Helly Hansen, has been announced as the Official Clothing Partner for the Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour for 2015. Together, they are launching an exclusive opportunity to win two VIP experiences at the Cowes Cup, as part of Helly Hansen's 'Join Our Crew' campaign, in conjunction with YachtsandYachting.com.

Offshore, inshore, dinghy, or cruising sailors can win an all-expenses paid VIP experience with the Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour 2015. Plus, Helly Hansen will pay for all activities during the race and give the winner £1,000 worth of the latest Helly Hansen technical sailing kit. To be in with a chance, sailors should upload their favourite sailing photograph via the YachtsandYachting.com/HellyHansen page, with a caption including a description of the contestant's favourite thing about sailing.

The Join Our Crew competition will run until Monday 25th May, with the winners being announced on Tuesday 26th May 2015. The 2015 Cowes Cup is on the Isle of Wight, from 24 – 27 June 2015. Weekly winners will also be chosen by Helly Hansen to win either the Crew Midlayer Jacket or HH Duffel 2 50L. The competition is open to UK and Ireland residents only.

During the Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour, Helly Hansen will provide the team with full technical performance apparel. The GC32 is a 10m long by 6m wide foiling catamaran designed by Dr Martin Fischer. The GC32 catamaran features T-foil rudders and J-shaped daggerboards/foils, and has recorded a top speed of 37.9 knots.

In 2015, the circuit for the GC32 one-design foiling catamarans will compete in five venues across Europe – Lake Traunsee, Austria; Cowes, UK; Kiel, Germany; Rome Fiumicino, Italy and concluding at Marseille One Design in France during September. The Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour VIP ticket winners will meet the sailors taking part in the Cowes Cup.

The GC32 catamarans are campaigned by many of the top professional sailing teams, but as they are smaller than the boats used in the America's Cup, they are also perfect for experienced amateurs and young, ambitious sailing professionals to use as a springboard for their careers.

Marketing Manager for Helly Hansen in the UK and Ireland, Emma Russell, says, "We are excited to be sponsoring the Bullitt GC32 Racing Tour this year. Helly Hansen will be supplying them with the latest kit, incorporating high performance technology and features, in stylish and functional apparel. The Join Our Crew competition is an extension of this partnership and gives sailors the opportunity to experience the Cowes Cup."
