As most members of HYC will be aware, the cost of organising major sailing events means that entry fees are never adequate enough to cover the expenses, so sponsorship plays an increasingly important role in our sport.
With a club like HYC regularly running large events, such a requirement is even more pressing and we are delighted to announce that valuable sponsorship support has already been confirmed for this season.
