A quick word of Thanks to the sponsors:

EFG International has stepped up with a very significant cash contribution to the cost of promoting this event. This allows us to help promote the individual qualifying events. It will also allow us to throw a hellva regatta within a regatta in Miami next March.
As a small sample of what the funds allow us to do, We are helping with the costs of photography at Long Beach. We will be subsidizing the costs of launching and storing in Miami. We are looking into funding a take home picture from a helicopter of every boat that competes at Miami. The funds cover advertising to promote this event and the Viper class all around the world.  Thank you to the executive team at EFG including Keith Gapp, Head of strategic marketing, and all the CROs in the Miami office of EFG  For more about EFG's involvement in sailing , go here: http://www.efgsailing.com/ 

Rondar Race Boats has stepped up to provide 6 brand new Vipers at Miami which will be allocated free of charter fee to international competitors through the qualifying events. This allows us to increase the international content and it adds six boats to the starting line. Thank you Paul!

Bacardi are sponsoring the final event with their usual round of parties in the hospitality village.  Be sure to say thank you to "Eddy"

Studio Milano are producing and designing our ads at no charge. They help and advise us on PR and they manage the shore side activities of the Newport qualifier and the Miami final. Thank you Gabriele and Sara. http://www.studiomilano.com/
