Benefits to sponsors

The sheer spectacle of a major Tall Ships' Race is difficult to convey via photographs alone. At all the stop-over ports, there are literally hundreds of thousands of spectators and many more watch on television. Szczecin, in North-West Poland, reported over 3 million visitors in 2007 and Boston is planning on 5 million visitors in 2009.

Whatever your objectives as a commercial sponsor - raising awareness of your brand, creating a unique corporate hospitality event or just being a good corporate citizen - the Tall Ships' Races offer a distinctive and memorable vehicle.

For charitable organisations, these events are not only an opportunity to see your funds actively used, but also to encourage others to donate to your organisation by demonstrating the worthwhile use of their donations.

The Rona Trust is made of up many volunteers, some of whom are business and marketing professionals. If there is some specific Corporate objective that you have in mind, but does not appear to have an obvious link to an event like this, come discuss it with us - we can be very creative!
