Weymouth Contender Worlds Update |
|
The 2011 Contender Pre Worlds and World Championship Notice of Race is now on line and on-line entry to the event is now open. Details of both can be found at:
Don't forget, a late entry fee kicks in on May 20th so why not get on and enter now to make sure you avoid it.
I am pleased to announce we have 2 more Sponsors on board for the event. They are Selden Masts(www.seldenmast.co.uk) and Segel Von Broen (www.segelvonbroen.com). More information on these companies has been (or will be shortly) added to the Worlds web site but in the mean time, why not visit these companies own web sites and see what they can offer you.
We have also launched a Contender Worlds Prize Draw. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors we are able to offer the following prizes:
1st Prize: A voucher for a new Dacron sail courtesy of North Sails
2nd Prize: A trailing cover courtesy of Waveloft
3rd Prize: A SLAM winter jacket with event logo courtesy of Craftinsure.
Tickets are £5 each or £10 for three and the draw will take place at the Worlds prizegiving dinner on Friday 22 July 2011. Don't worry if you can't make the dinner, you can still win a prize. Proceeds from the draw will be ploughed back into the event to make what promises to be a great event even better. Tickets will be on sale at various UK opens, Kiel week and the Weymouth event itself so dig deep, support your class and buy yourself the chance of winning a great prize.
I look foward to seeing you all at Weymouth

New Training Videos online |
|
Hi Everyone,
I am so happy to bring you the fantastic work of Marco Versari and the Italian Contender Association. Together they have put together a professional DVD training video.
Marco worked hard to train and was able to be second at the Contender Worlds in Kingston Canada in 2008. He has trained with Marcus, Andrea, Christoph and is now a professional sailing coach. He brings his skills to the video and helps learn how to sail the Contender, as well as how to rig and tune the Contender.
The video is available online on our website here:

2010 Contender Worlds, Another day in Paradise |
 Originally designed as a future single handed Olympic dinghy by the young Queenslander in 1966, when he was still known as Bob Miller, the Contender dinghy is celebrating its 40th World Championship in its Queensland design birth place.
Chris Sutherland, Contender Class President says ‘This Worlds is a landmark event for the Contenders. We designed them, we build them and we win in them. Four Australians have won the Worlds on a total of nine occasions.'
Over 60 boats from Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark and France are in Brisbane to compete for the championship. The Australian Champs took place 3rd to 6th January 2010 and the Worlds are from 7th to 12th January 2010.
