Clarke & Carter were delighted to sponsor the four sailors from Burnham Sailing Club as they travelled to Kiel, Germany to compete in the Sailing Champions League. Over three days of hard, competitive racing against some of the best sailors in Europe, the guys performed admirably to finish 24th overall and ending up as the highest ranked British boat. The highlight of the weekend was a 3rd place finish on the final day to end on a high. Flynn Davies, helm commented: “Overall we’re really pleased with the weekend, we’ve had a great time. The racing has been so intense and such a high standard, and we’re really looking forward to future keelboat league events as well. A big shout out to Clarke & Carter and to Burnham Sailing Club for supporting us.”
Ian and Tom from our Essex Office joined the guys on their triumphant return earlier this week.
THE IDEA BEHIND SAILING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
It’s a straightforward format that has been working well in football for years; now we have clear proof that it also works for sailing: An international club competition generating high levels of media interest and a competition that clubs, sailors and fans can all identify with.
The idea behind SAILING Champions League is simple: it’s the championship of the national champions. The most successful clubs of the National Sailing League countries are competing against each other to fight for the title: “Best Sailing Club of the Year”.
