White Christmas in Europe, UK, Canada and the US with winters storms now to come, now its Three Kings in Spain, it’s the depth of winter and it seems the nearest anyone gets to sailing in the northern hemisphere is following the sailing news from Down Under.
The height of summer in Australia and there is a veritable feast of World, National and State titles, just happened , in progress or about to happen.
In the olden days, all around the world, it has been the same. these events if lucky rated the top three results in the newspapers, now 500 word reports, with up to 12 images and full results sets can run on Sail-World.com, the largest sailing news network in the world, with local sites around the globe.
Sail-World receives an average of 800,000 visits per month, with three million unique visitors per year.
So make sure your event Public Relations Officers or your Class or Association has provided Sail-World with the event preview, the daily reports, mid-regatta reports or the wrap at very least. There is a news submit button on the front page. It's a very simple process. Around the world twelve different events provided their news reports to us this way today alone.
Of course we also receive many event reports to our global email box editor@sail-world.com
We don't run them all and many need heavy editing and we often ask for more or better image and full result tables but if you do not send them to us, your event sponsors miss out on a lot of exposure.
Over December - January we will run 80 or so of these reports, be awful if yours in not one of them.
Read about the B14 and Tornado, OK's, Musto skiffs, Tasar and Flying Dutchman Worlds in Australia and ahead there is the International 14's Worlds and of course the foiling Moth Worlds, we will have the most detail coverage ever of this star studded event.
Up North and offshore the Barcelona World Race kicked off with the fastest BWR exit ever from the Med from Alex Thomson and Pepe Ribes on Hugo Boss and in the Volvo Race heading now for China, its Dongfeng just ahead of Abu Dhabi.
