Sail Racing sponsors ISAF World Match Racing Tour
Swedish apparel manufacturer Sail Racing has been appointed official clothing partner to the ISAF World Match Racing Tour (WMRT). The company has signed a three-year agreement with the organisation and will provide branded team clothing for the Tour from the Stena Match Cup in Sweden onwards.
Sail Racing has worked with some of the most prestigious sailing events in the world including the Volvo Ocean Race and Nokia Oops Cup. The specialist sports clothing brand has also been associated with the Swedish America’s Cup Victory Challenge Team, the Audi/Q8 Team racing a TP52 in the Audi Med Cup as well as Red Bull Extreme Sailing.
Henric Wikestam, managing director at Sail Racing, said: “Partnering with such a successful sports brand is a very positive step for Sail Racing. “We have watched the Tour’s recent growth under the new leadership team with keen interest and are ready to be part of the ambitious global expansion plans. We are very excited to provide the Tour team with a clothing range which we are convinced will appeal to all members of the WMRT community including officials, teams, media and fans.”
Swedish racer Magnus Holmberg will help develop the technical lines. He has been ranked number one in the WMRT standings and was crowned ISAF Match Racing World Champion from 2000-2001. The Olympian also has two America’s Cup campaigns under his belt.
