Make your mark on a Solent Buoy
by Peta Stuart-Hunt 12 Nov 2002 07:13 GMT
The chance to get your company or organisation’s name on a Solent racing mark doesn’t come up that frequently. However, Cowes Combined Clubs has announced that it is offering two or three companies or organisations the opportunity to sponsor a Solent racing mark over the next five years, commencing January 2003.
CCC is looking at a five year sponsorship period for anyone signing up and the cost per annum is £1,100 + VAT (increasing 3% per year). For this investment, the sponsor will get a yellow or orange racing mark with their name printed in black. The mark is lifted every December and re-laid in March after winter maintenance to smarten it up. The Buoy’s name is also published in the nautical almanacs and on all relevant charts.
The buoys will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
