The Seiko 49er Speed Challenge
25 August 2008
Since 2006, Seiko has been the main sponsor of the International 49er Class, one of the fastest and fastest-growing classes in Olympic sailing. Through this agreement, Seiko has assisted the growth of the sport and has supported the future development of 49er sailing through the supply of funds and equipment to the new generation of sailors. In return, Seiko has gained valuable insights into the needs and wishes of the top athletes in world sailing, and is incorporating this knowledge into each new generation of Velatura, its marine watch collection.
The “Seiko 49er Speed Challenge” was launched at the UK National 49er Championships in Weymouth, England on August 23 to 26. Teams were invited to take the new look 49er with an all carbon rig and square top mainsail onto the water, and maximum speeds were recorded.
