Television coverage of GERBER Laser Vortex Nationals
Event Date: Future - 19th/20th July
Author: Laser Vortex Class
GERBER, the makers of legendary multitools and second year Sponsors of the Laser Vortex Class are really pushing the boat out at this year's GERBER Vortex Nationals hosted by the Royal Torbay Yacht Club on 19/20 July.
Not only will there be free training for all entrants on Friday 18th July but GERBER has teamed up with ProactiveTV (who produce for Skys' Watersports World) to televise the event. The use of head cams and a helicopter during the weekend will provide viewers with spectacular action shots and all competitors will get a video copy of the television show for posterity. There will be a GERBER hosted evening social and a 'star' sailor from another class will be trying to show the Vortex regulars how it should be done! The fleet will be split into Gold / Overall, Silver and Bronze fleets so there will be something to race for right through the fleet.
Spectators will also be able to see the eagerly anticipated prototype assymetric version of the Vortex being put through its paces.
If anyone would like to sail in the championships, a couple of demo boats may still be available. Contact Keith Escritt (01943 466998) to book your chance to sail in what promises to be one of the best events of the year.
