Scotiabank sponsors Cayman youth sailing

(CNS): For the second consecutive year, Scotiabank is the title sponsor for the Cayman Islands Youth Sailing Championship. Scotiabank has donated CI$3,000 for the regatta, which will take place on 1 and 2 November 2008 at the Cayman Islands Sailing Club. The regatta will be sailed in various different sailboats and will determine the best youth sailors for each class of boat.

It will be run over two days and includes at least eight races, a youth social event and a BBQ, and each competitor will receive a regatta t-shirt.

Michael Weber, the CICS Sailing Director, said, “I am grateful for Scotiabank’s continued support for youth sailing. This regatta is not only the most important competition of the year for youth sailors, but it is also a celebration of the popularity and growth that we’ve seen in youth sailing over the last few years. It is because of sponsors like Scotiabank that we are able to continue to offer fun sailing events to Cayman’s youth.”

The regatta is open to all youth sailors under the age of 18 with prior sailing experience. Registration and boat hire is now open and interested sailors can contact Michael Weber at sailing@sailing.ky to register.
