Dear David Mitchell,
Thank you for registering for the 2011 Marblehead to Halifax race. Preparations are well underway at both the BYC and RNSYS and we are confident we will put on a world class race.
Thomson Reuters is aboard as a major sponsor of the 2011 Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race. The core of their sponsorship will be the filming of the race by none other than Gary Jobson. The film has already been slotted with ESPN Classic for the Fall of 2011 - with a preview at BYC. It will be a one hour adventure film featuring 2011's major East Coast races - The Annapolis to Newport Race and then Marblehead to Halifax. We will place high-definition cameramen on four selected yachts and Gary will edit and narrate a great piece. Gary will sail aboard Gus Carlson’s “Aurora”, which will be the Thomson Reuters sponsored entry in the race. This effort will elevate the race in the eyes of the worldwide sailing community for the coming decade.
This year, we continue with a “Fleet Building” committee that will be working to maximize participation. We would like to ask for your help in making this another memorable race. If you could take a few moments to think of anyone you know that may be considering participation we would appreciate hearing from you. A name, boat name or email would be much appreciated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either of us.
Thank you, we look forward to having NOMAD on the starting line!
