Sponsorship
The Superyacht Cup is now in its 12th year, making it the biggest, longest-running Superyacht event in the world. Each year, the highly exclusive, yet uniquely informal atmosphere of the event has helped it to grow in size and popularity, drawing in owners of sailing Superyachts from all over the world, and culminating in the extraordinary event in Palma in June 2007.
With a fleet of 52 boats and seemingly nearly as many mega-motoryachts accompanying them as “mother ships”, and around 3000 participants, this “Mother of all Regattas” has already generated totally un-prompted and independent international media coverage of around 300 full pages in more than 80 magazines from over 20 different countries. With the film of the event winning a world-wide take-up of TV broadcast and first-class in- flight entertainment, the estimated media value for sponsors is well over €11million.
The second edition of the Antigua event in December is already reaching significant proportions; this year some 12-15 yachts are expected to attend, and significantly more next season, as Antigua reinvents itself as a new streamlined version of the highly popular capital of the Caribbean sailing area that it has always been. The SYC- inspired “twinning” of their island with Palma de Mallorca has given the Antiguan government some crucial support and know-how for making access more user-friendly, and promoting marine trade business as well as top-end yachting.
As a sponsor of The Superyacht Cup, you will have a unique opportunity to network extensively with this highly exclusive group in a relaxed and informal atmosphere over the period of the event. You will also have the chance to create your own social activities or functions to entertain your company’s important clients or special guests.
Your business will become associated with one of the most glamorous and prestigious events in yachting, with high-level branding oportunities as well as world-wide TV and media exposure.

RECORD BREAKING SCHOONER SIGNS UP FOR SUPERYACHT CUP PALMA
May 14th 2008
The 140' (42m) schooner Senso One (formerly Mari Cha IV) has confirmed they will be taking part in The Superyacht Cup Ulysse Nardin in Palma next month. Senso One will be the fastest boat ever to take part in a Superyacht Cup event.
Senso One has two 45 metre masts but weighs only 50 tonnes due to a lightweight, sleek carbon-fibre hull which contains a stripped-out and minimalist interior. This is a complete contrast to some of the luxurious staterooms onboard several of the other participating yachts.
“We are delighted to have Senso One participate at The Superyacht Cup” commented Event Director Patrick Whetter, “the response to our new IRC class has been very positive this year and we expect the fleet to grow significantly for the future.”
Formerly called Mari Cha IV, Senso One still holds the Transatlantic record for a monohull, crossing from New York to Lizard point in just over 6 days. Capable of speeds of over 40 knots, the boat was designed by Greg Elliot, Clay Oliver, Philippe Briand and built especially for ocean record breaking. They will race in the new IRC class for The Superyacht Cup against such yachts as the classic J class Ranger, and the Wally Open Season.
Ocean Yacht Systems have also renewed their sponsorhip of The Superyacht Cup Ulysse Nardin. OYS are world leaders in the supply of rigging solutions, offering a wide range of custom hydraulic cylinders and panel systems as well as bow and stern thrusters. Several of the yachts competing in The Superyacht Cup are OYS clients, including the largest boat taking part, Hyperion (Frers designed 46m ketch) as well as Gliss (Briand 32m) and Ranger (Stephens 41.4m). OYS will have a display tent in the regatta village promoting their latest products and services for superyachts.
The Superyacht Cup Ulysse Nardin will take place in Dique del Oeste in Palma, Mallorca from June 11th -14th.

GOLETA DE RÉCORD SE APUNTA A LA SUPERYACHT CUP PALMA
La goleta-schooner Senso One (anteriormente Mari Cha IV), de 42m, ha confirmado que va a tomar parte en la Superyacht Cup Ulysse Nardin en Palma el próximo mes de junio. Senso One será el barco más rápido que jamás haya participado en el evento de la Superyacht Cup.
A pesar de sus dos mástiles de 45 metros, Senso One sólo pesa 50 toneladas debido a su casco de ligerísima fibra de carbono que esconde un interior minimalista. Se trata de un contraste total con algunos de los lujosos camarotes que tienen a bordo varios de los otros yates participantes.
"Estamos encantados de que Senso One participe en la Superyacht Cup", comentó el Sr. Patrick Whetter, Director de Eventos, "la respuesta a nuestra nueva clase IRC ha sido muy positiva este año y esperamos que la flota crezca significativamente en un futuro."
Anteriormente llamado Mari Cha IV, Senso One todavía mantiene el récord transatlántico para monocascos, concluyendo la travesía de Nueva York a Cabo Lizard en poco más de 6 días. Capaz de alcanzar una velocidad superior a 40 nudos, el barco diseñado por Greg Elliot, Clay Oliver, Philippe Briand fue construido especialmente para romper récords en el océano. Participará dentro de la nueva categoría de IRC de la Superyacht Cup, compitiendo contra yates tales como el clásico clase J Ranger y el Wally Open Season.
Ocean Yacht Systems ha renovado recientemente su acuerdo de patrocinio con la Superyacht Cup. OYS son líderes mundiales en el suministro de soluciones de rigging, ofreciendo una amplia gama de cilindros hidráulicos a medida y sistemas de panel, así como propulsores para proa y popa. De hecho, varios de los yates en la Superyacht Cup son clientes de OYS, entre ellos el mayor barco que toma parte del evento, el Hyperion (velero ketch de 46m diseñado por Frers), así como Gliss (32m, de Briand) y Ranger (41.4m, de Stephens). OYS tendrá un stand en la regata, para promociona sus productos más recientes, así como sus servicios a los megayates.
NB: Se ruega a los periodistas que deseen participar en la Superyacht Cup se registren en la sección de prensa de la página web para obtener la acreditación. www.thesuperyachtcup.com/press/
