The race that has been awaited since the rolling success that it displayed last year is all set to pull in a massive crowd of sailing fans and enthusiasts this year too. The Rolex sponsored New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup has rounded up a good number of teams from across 14 nations and the effort that has gone into making this race is showing even before the race has begun. Rolex has associated with the event that not only celebrates healthy competition but also creates a scope for participants to show their talent for scouring the waters successfully. The participating teams are already talking about the attention to detail that has been paid into hosting this tournament and the Rolex association has added further recognition and enthusiasm to such a prestigious event.
The teams that have lined up for the Rolex sponsored New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup have already attended a convention arranged by Rolex known as the Swan 42 Performance Symposium and have tested their yachts on the choppy waters at Narragansett Bay and the Rhode Island Sound.
Rolex ensured that the teams entered water with a full knowledge of what they were setting their foot into and an understanding of the intricacies of the particular location for sailing. No two water bodies are the same when it comes to temperament and this is what the conference attended by some of the most notable US sailors like Brad Read, Gary Jobson and Steve Benjamin aimed to put forth before the yacht men and women competing in the challenge. The helmsmen, mainsail trimmers and tacticians of the teams participating in the sport were briefed regarding the tactics and local knowledge that would empower them to compete better in the race.
The technical committee that has been specially created for the Rolex sponsored event has the responsibility to oversee every detail that goes into making the boats sailable and to come out on the top in terms of performance. Experts have to say that this time around the boats are more level than they ever were since the time the fleets were formed.
The Rolex drive behind the New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup has pushed it to reach the epitome of success and since the New York Yacht Club owns the suits of sails it has gone ahead and marked the sails with the logo of the event and this has helped in clearly identifying the team so that spectators can cheer for their personal favorites.
The event is also looking forward to celebrating the Parade of Nations that will take place this Saturday and teams coming from various nations have already started interacting and creating a buzz for the event that is unmatched. Event sponsors Rolex makes sure that every sport and a related tournament that it associates itself with goes through moments when they are put through the roughest tests and come out as champions from them. For Rolex, sponsoring events is not a way to create more revenues but to generate more interest for the sport that they associate themselves with.
