Win a new set of sails for your boat - Windsport to increase sponsorship of Sprint 15 Traveller Events

We are happy to announce that Windsport have agreed a new level of sponsorship for our Sprint 15 traveller events. The top prize will be full set of new Sprint 15 sails which will be raffled to all Sprint 15 Association members who take part in our events during the 2009-2010 season. We will allocate a raffle ticket each time you enter one of our events and we will then draw the winner out of a hat. This will apply to the Summer Series, both National Championships, the training event and the Winter Series - so if you enter 6 events you will get 6 chances to win the sails. The draw will be at the final qualifying event which is at Grafham in March 2010.

Additionally at each of the Summer Series there will be Catparts vouchers of £15, £10 and £5 to be drawn from a hat of entrants at each event and at both National Championships there will be Catparts vouchers of £30, £20 and £10 also to be drawn from the list of competitors. These vouchers can be spent on replacement parts, coaching or sailing kit from Windsport. So at each of our traveller events through the summer the entrants will receive two www.catparts.windsport.co.uk sticker to stick on each side of the bottom third of your mast* and a raffle ticket for the sail draw. The draw for the vouchers will take place based on your entrance number (or tally number)** at the prize giving.

Additionally Windsport have agreed to provide a stock of parts to be sold at our events to keep the competitors going when breakages occur. It will also be a good way of avoiding postage on such items as battens which are expensive to post. Windsport also plan to be present for both National Championships during 2009.

The Summer Traveller Series will be called The Windsport Catparts Sprint 15 Traveller Series and it is our intention that this gets good press coverage when we submit our race reports.

We are very pleased with this extension to the sponsorship and we would like to point out that Windsport is the official supplier of genuine class legal Sprint 15 parts. They are also our sole supplier for new boats. Please give them your support whenever you can.

* please keep these stickers on your mast throughout the season.

** sail numbers of the competitors might be used if it is more convenient.
