BRITISH BLIND SAILING RACING ASSOCIATION
Blind Sailing is a charity set up to enable all visually impaired sailors to get out on the water. The charity tries to cater for all - from the young to the old, from the beginner to the experienced racer. It also provides advice to those who have recently lost their sight or to clubs with visually impaired sailors looking to join. The charity also supports the British Blind Sailing Team, helping to fund their attendance at events and to hold their own events. To date the team has had great success, becoming World Champions twice. Later this year, in Rhode Island, USA, the British Blind Sailing Team are looking to defend the World Champion title they achieved in Italy. However, they need the help of sponsors to be able to send the three teams of different sight categories, two sighted and two visually impaired on each team, to the USA. Currently the team are funding their own training and also work hard to raise the money for the events in which they compete. Through hard training they have developed strong communication and show tremendous commitment to their sailing. The team will be delighted to take part in photo opportunities with sponsors and will happily wear a uniform bearing the sponsor's logo. They will promote the sponsor's company as best they can whilst competing in the World Championships during 2006. Hopefully this brief information has given potentail sponsors an insight into what the team hopes to achieve. More information is available via the contact shown or from the charity's website. "If you can see some way how your company may assist us with the funding we need to be able to send a competitive team to the next World Championships this would be greatly appreciated".

PERSONAL EVEREST
Geoff Holt is paralysed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair. For the past twenty years he has set numerous records in disabled yachting. Personal Everest is the ultimate sailing challenge which will see him sail the 1,600 miles around Great Britain in his specially adapted 15ft trimaran dinghy. He will sail a maximum of eight hours a day and the event will take approximately fifty days to complete. Never before has such an attempt been made and success will see Geoff and his sponsors enter the record books. Geoff's support team will consist of his wife, who will be driving the specially modified, wheelchair accessible motor home. At sea, he will be followed by a RNIB dinghy which will be crewed by two qualified persons - they will deliver food and drink to him and provide immediate safety cover. There will also be a yacht which will act as a "mothership", providing a secure platform for the RNIB crew between shifts and also accommodation at night. The BBC have expressed an interest in following the challenge and discussions are currently underway with a TV production company who aim to make a one hour documentary for a major TV network. A book deal is also being discussed. With fifty ports of arrival and departure, each one will provide extensive PR opportunities to a sponsor. Contact: Geoff Holt. Address: Ty Melyn, St Anne's Lane, Shedfield SO32 2HR. Tel.: 01329 835151. E-mail: info@personaleverest.com.
