2008 marks Gill’s 6th year of sponsorship of the National 12 Gill
Series, a UK wide series of events which brings together sailors from
across the country from April to November at 8 events.
John Meadowcroft, National 12 Class Association Chairman comments ‘The
Gill Series events are the best attended on our circuit and are a must
for those seeking to compete in the Class. The support from Gill is
first class and the benefits of the relationship were experienced by
many of those sailing in the snow at the first event of the series at
Bristol Corinthian YC. The mantra of Gill to “respect the elements” has
never been so valid’.
Bryan Stewart, International Sales & Marketing Manager for Gill adds
“The National 12 Gill series is an exceptional event, which Gill is
extremely proud to sponsor. It welcomes occasional sailors
alongside seasoned competitors and you can be sure of an enthusiastic
reception, whatever your sailing ability”.
Gill’s continued support for the series means excellent prizes will be
offered for both individual events and for the overall competition. The
social aspect of these events is also superb and a well-established,
informative seminar schedule provides entrants with a chance to develop
their skills and pick up tips from the experts.
