Boskalis sponsors ambitious catamaran sailors
TEAM BOSKALIS: YOUNG, AMBITIOUS AND FOCUSED
Young, ambitious and talented sailors want to reach the top as fast as possible. But where can they find out what they want to know? How can they develop their own talent efficiently? How can they become real winners? In response to these questions, the Boskalis Nacra Master Class was established in 2007. The goal: to pass on knowledge and develop talent. Team Boskalis is growing! After the successes of the 2007 season, Team Boskalis expanded from one to four catamarans in 2008. This gave four young competition sailors (the 'apprentices') the opportunity to train with experienced and celebrated catamaran specialists, the 'masters'. The talented apprentices will make their way to the global top of the international F18 class in an intensive and effective way. Once again, in 2010, the successful formula will be maintained, with four teams, each consisting of an apprentice and a master, on four F18 catamarans.
Hanneke Schouten, Boskalis Corporate Communications: “This unique sponsoring approach is typical of our new sponsoring policy: it's not an exclusively maritime focus; it's also geared towards innovative technology. And passing on knowledge is important, too. On top of that, the project is ambitious: these sailors want to win. So they have a lot in common with Boskalis.”
