Sailing number 3 in Europe?Oct28
- By Mark Turner in Sailing stuff,
Well, not a bad little article to kick off this blog…a report showing that Sailing in Europe, in sponsorship dollars terms, is only smaller than Football and F1. Not sure where this blog is going to go, but I’d like when there is a spare minute to just share some unofficial thoughts on the world we live and work in - whether its to do with sport of sailing, adventure, or how the hell we do all we do in a more sustainable way.
Not sure how good the actual report is as they seemed to have missed the point on some things (think about the IMOCA fleet, its got over 100 million Euros of deals signed on the boat project side on its own in 2006/7, so the event sponsorships are pretty small in comparison). Anyway check it out at
