The 2000 Class Association is delighted to announce that old friends Astral Azure have agreed to be title headline sponsors for the 2025 2000 Nationals to be held at Hayling Island SC from Aug 17th-22nd. This will be the fourth occasion that Astral Azure have been the title sponsor for the 2000 Nationals.
Pete Vincent Sailing Secretary of the 2000 Class Association commented, "Delighted to have Astral Azure as title headline sponsors! Their support makes a real difference to the extra value we can add to the Nationals to make it an even better experience for competitors making the entry extremely good value.
"This year we have the talented Richard Bowers Photography at the Nationals taking photos and videos of the racing. The photos will be free to all competitors and we will be able to run video de-briefs after racing using Richard's footage to help all sailors improve. Without Astral Azure's support this would not be possible."
Mike McEwing, founder of Astral Azure, was equally pleased to be again sponsoring the 2000 Nationals: "We are an Aerospace Consultancy and we believe in supporting sport as part of our wider contribution to society. 2000 class sailors are such an inclusive and welcoming group of people who bring the Fast, Family, Fun ethos to life," he commented.
With 35 boats already entered entries are expected to pass 50 by the time the Nationals start. If you would like to enter the 2025 Astral Azure 2000 Nationals go to sailevent.net/noticeboard/17p
