Profile takes to the water…

Gail Norris naming 'Profile'On Saturday 24th February, a party at Port Hamble to celebrate our new boat’s official naming was enjoyed by a number of friends and family from Profile Sailing’s parent company in London and representatives from Britannia, Sail4Cancer and Ancasta.

Profile Sailing’s founder Mark Norris, thanked everyone involved in the building process and shared his future vision the project, introducing Connie Carroll who talked with passion about Sail4Cancer’s work. Further good news came from Simon Boulding, Marketing Manager of Britannia Corporate Events who announced that Corum Watches had been confirmed at the official timekeeping sponsor for the Profile Sailing Cup together with The Dorchester as our 'Lifestyle Partner'

Before the official naming ceremony was conducted by Mark’s wife Gail, he explained the tradition of Champagne being poured over the bow to appease King Neptune and a branch with green leaves on the deck, was to ensure a safe return each time the boat sails.; also the hope that Profile would be a happy ship, to be cared for by good fortune, to be a proud yet modest winner, and to sail safely at all times. Naming 'PROFILE', Gail added '“May God bless her & all who sail in her'.

   
January 2007: Sir Keith MillsSir Keith MILLS, the British businessman who ran London’s victorious bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, has announced he is to create a new British America’s Cup sailing team. The team, to be named ORIGIN, will comprise some of the world’s leading sailors and boat designers from Great Britain and beyond. The name ORIGIN is a reference to Britain’s involvement in the creation of the America’s Cup in 1851. Rod CARR, Chief Executive of the Royal Yachting Association, commented, 'British sailing has never been more successful than it is today. We are the world’s strongest sailing nation; our Olympic medal count is higher than any other British sport, whilst ocean racing heroes such as Dame Ellen MACARTHUR and Dee CAFFARI have ruled the waves. In my view there are three peaks in competitive racing. Britain has already scaled the heights in the Olympic and offshore arena and I believe we have the talent and expertise to create a winning America’s Cup team.'

Round The Island

The Island Sailing Club’s ever-popular Round the Island Race, sponsored by JP Morgan will take place on Saturday 23rd June 2007 and with the start sequence scheduled earlier so competitors can make best use of the favourable tide from Cowes down to The Needles. Traditionally, the first start has been no earlier than 6am but following feedback from competitors it has been decided to bring this forward to 5am! Peter Dickson, Commodore of the Island Sailing Club, said: "For the past two years we have had very light conditions for the initial stage of the race, so a fair tide on the line has been all-important. The earlier start will benefit all competitors"
