bluQube seals new two year sailing sponsorship deal with Katie Miller
bluQube, is to become the title sponsor for Katie Miller, one of the UK’s most promising young solo sailors. A formal announcement of the sponsorship was announced at the Royal Southampton Yacht Club with the christening of Katie’s boat as ‘bluQube’ by guest sailing legend Dee Caffari, who recently finished 6th in the Vendee Globe.
The two year partnership will oversee Katie’s entry as the youngest ever female competitor in the 2009 OSTAR single-handed Trans-Atlantic race, which starts in Plymouth on 25th May 2009, and her inauguration into the Figaro European Championships in 2010.
Simon Kearsley, CEO at bluQube, comments, “We have been involved in sailing sponsorship for over four years now, supporting ventures such as The Global Challenge and most recently solo sailor Steve White who has just completed the Vendee Globe in the last few days. We have seen some huge returns from sailing sponsorship and are really excited at the prospect of helping one of the UK’s most aspiring young yachtswomen who has already created an enviable reputation for herself within the solo sailing community.”
