(Hamble, England)- The Women's Open Keelboat Championship (WOKC) will be
returning to Hamble for its 10th anniversary edition in 2018. This
year the event, hosted once again by Hamble River Sailing Club, is being
held on the weekend of June 2nd and 3rd. The volunteer team which
organizes WOKC is delighted that Dubarry has agreed to return as title
sponsor, having been a generous supporter of the championships since
their inception in 2008 and having been the title sponsor for the last
seven events. This means there will be some fantastic Dubarry prizes up
for grabs, yet again!
"The
Dubarry Women's Open Keelboat Championships is an event that Dubarry
has been involved with for the past seven years. The camaraderie both on
and off the water drives the growth and popularity of this event each
year and we thoroughly enjoy sponsoring this wonderfully talented group
of sailors. The WOKC event is now bigger than ever due to its excellent
organization, complimented by eager participants and organizers and
Dubarry is delighted to be associated with this event and wish everyone a
successful and enjoyable weekend on the water,” said Marketing
Director, Michael Walsh.The organizers are looking forward to offering two days of fun and competitive racing on the water along with some great social events ashore (the frocks and flip-flops party is unmissable), with funds being raised for the event's two charities- “Breast Cancer Care” and the “Hamble Lifeboat Trust.” The racing format will focus on IRC racing and, after last year's record entry of twenty boats and the return of the J/80 class, the WOKC is anticipating the 10th anniversary edition will be the biggest and best yet.
"We
are thrilled that Dubarry have once again agreed to be our title
sponsor," commented Jen Smyth, one of the organizers of the Dubarry
Women's Open Keelboat Championship 2018. "With their continued support
we have seen entries increase steadily and, we hope, this 10th
anniversary edition will see even more ladies on the water. It's a
pleasure to be working with the team from HRSC again and we are all
looking forward to putting on a competitive regatta and a top notch
party for all the teams and supporters."Entries are now open and early entry is advised to take advantage of the early-bird booking fee of £75, available until 17:00 on Friday 25 May. After that date, entry fee will increase to £95. Boat entry is available from HRSC either online or via the admin team on +44-2380-452070.
