Murphy & Nye to sponsor the 2010 Etchells Australian Championships
|
Murphy & Nye, exclusive Italian sailing and crew wear company has signed a deal to be the major naming rights sponsor of the Etchells Australian Championships at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club from the 11th – 16th January 2010.
'We are extremely excited about having a company with the yachting heritage and international status of Murphy & Nye take a leading role in sponsoring our National Championships,' said Lake Macquarie Fleet Captain Mark Phillips. 'Murphy & Nye are a perfect fit for the Etchells. They are well known overseas for the style and quality of their crew wear and on shore clothing. We’re looking forward to being a feature event for Murphy & Nye as they bring the brand to Australia and to working with them to make our event a major success.'
Murphy & Nye is one of the most prestigious brand names in international yachting, dating back to Chicago sailmakers, Jim Murphy and Harry Nye Jr. in 1933. The company’s heritage includes long standing involvement with the America’s Cup and crews (currently the garment sponsor of Team New Zealand) and sail liveries for high profile international fleets and competitors. Today Murphy & Nye produces a range of exclusive sailing wear and crew wear that is complimented by stylish outdoor and leisure collections for men, women and children.
'The Etchells class is the premier one design fleet in Australia and a great fit with everything that the Murphy & Nye brand represents, on and off the water,' said Peter Doyle, Director, Murphy & Nye Australia. 'Murphy & Nye’s commitment to the sport of sailing extends from juniors through fleet racing and leisure boating to the Americas Cup. We see the Etchells as representing some of the most competitive sailors and sailing in Australia so we are proud to be the title sponsor of the National Championships as part of our Australian launch program.'
About Murphy & Nye
Murphy & Nye and sailing share a bond that dates back to the early 20th century when, in 1933, Jim Murphy and Harry Nye Jr founded Murphy & Nye in Chicago as specialised sail makers. By the nineteen sixties, Murphy & Nye had become one of the most important names in sailmaking in the United States. The expertise acquired in crafting high-performance racing sails led Murphy & Nye to tailor clothing items that exclusively provisioned crews on yachts powered by their sails. Today Murphy & Nye makes high quality technical clothing for sailors and compliments the on-water range (‘CREW’) with a range of fashion outdoor and leisurewear for men, women and children.
