The Chairman of Abersoch Dinghy Week, Brian Holland is delighted to have signed up a new sponsor so quickly, commenting: “It’s a great testament to a great event that we have had so much interest shown in the Week. To have signed Sailing Networks as our new title sponsor is brilliant news and a perfect fit for both parties.”

Sailing Networks CEO, Jeremy Pocock, says he too is delighted with the deal. “A key sector that is ripe for development in the area of social networking is the dinghy market – the people, the boats, the accessories, the events and the increasing number of classes – it’s a young, active and thriving market and, given the enormous popularity of online social networking with young people in particular, it’s an obvious route for us to go down.”
