2008 J/24 North American Championship, 30th Anniversary Event
Hi Everyone,
The sailing season is here. The first race is this weekend already.
The J/24 North Americans are coming here this September 8-12. There has
been a lot of planning and work going into this event since late last
summer.
Things are really taking shape, and it will be an awesome regatta.
WE NEED YOUR HELP !!!! Our biggest obstacle thus far has been getting
sponsorship for the event. We need sponsors of all sizes. Any contribution
would be greatly appreciated. If you, or if you know of a person or
company that would like help sponsor OUR regatta please let us know. If
you have contact information for some companies that might be interested
that could help us out we would appreciate any help or leads that you may
have.
My contact info is below along with sponsorship information.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon on the water.
Jibe Ho,
Tim
Oh, by the way..... If you know someone who is looking to refinance,
purchase, or sell a home please call me with their name and number and I
will be happy to help them.

Maximum Exposure Through Event Marketing!
The Opportunity
In marketing, perception and awareness is everything. This is a
rare opportunity to advance the image and perception of your company,
products or services while increasing visibility. Sailing is a competitive
team sport that requires strategy, agility, and athleticism and, of course,
wind. Now is your chance to join the ranks of many leading global companies
including BMW, Oracle and Coca Cola that know the value that regatta
sponsorships deliver.
In addition, the J/24 North American Championship Regatta is
celebrating its 30th anniversary. Fleet #1 on Lake Minnetonka was the first
of 105 fleets throughout the globe. The first J/24, Ragtime, was built by
Rod Johnstone in 1976. Little did he know there would be nearly 5,200 J/24
sailboats today.
This event will not only bring your company and products or
services to the sailing community throughout North America but to sailing
enthusiasts globally. Your company can gain maximum exposure through the
J/24 2008 North American Championship Regatta event marketing and news
reported on the Internet, magazine and broadcast media. Don’t miss this
opportunity!
The J/24 North American Championship Regatta typically draws 65-80
plus boats to the event. With teams of 5-6 racing on each boat and folks all
over the world watching the racing and results online and at the event your
exposure is sure to more than meet your expectations. Along with the
exposure at Wayzata Yacht Club and all of the promotions at other major
events in North America leading up to the event the event will be promoted
by many various means not limited to electronic, website, mailings, notices,
