Glowfast brightens up 2010 Heaven Can Wait 24 Hour Charity Yacht Race

by HCW Media on 8 Oct 2010 Glowfast, manufacturer of a wide range of luminescent tapes and labels – including glow-in-the-dark rope clutch labels and draft tapes for sails – has become a sponsor of the 2010 Heaven Can Wait Charity Yacht Regatta.

Held on Lake Macquarie on the October long weekend of October 2-3, this year's event –its fifth year – raised nearly $35,000 for men's cancer support and research programs.

The event includes the Heaven Can Wait (HCW) 24 Hour Yacht Race, in which boats sail around Lake Macquarie as many times as they can over 24 hours, and the daylight only One Lap Dash, which is a single circuit of the lake.

Glowfast is offering a 20% discount on all its products to HCW competitors and HCW Yacht Club members.

'These products will take your night racing experience to a new level,' said HCW YC Sponsorship Captain Mark Hastings.

'We have all seen the phenomenon in past HCW 24 Hour races where crews seem to be looking for a possum up a tree as they shine torches at telltales to spot the best wind angles.

'This can be particularly amusing on the high-tech black carbon sails as they become almost invisible at night.

'This is where Glowfast's range of glow-in-the-dark draft tapes offer a distinct advantage, not only to HCW competitors, but to anyone sailing at night.

'And they'll make your boat look uber cool in the darkness as you stealthily smoke past your torch-wielding competitors,' he said.

To take advantage of Glowfast's offer, HCW competitors and HCW YC members can just email the club at info@heavencanwait.com.au.
