Thanks to Xavier for letting us know the good news. Ed
Sail the Wight is pleased to announce the first sponsor for the 2016 race, the Isle of Wight Distillery.
Xavier Baker and Conrad Gauntlett from the Isle of Wight Distillery are giving their full support to Sail The Wight, including bottles of the Wight Mermaids Gin at 42% ABV Wight Mermaid Gina refreshing, smooth and slightly sweet peppery gin with hints of citrus, to the winners in each class of Sail the Wight.
The first start is 8am on 16th July from the RYS line.
Wight Mermaids Gin is a wonderful new gin distilled with Rock Samphire on the Isle of Wight in the Island’s first fully licensed still.
Delighted to be part of Sail the Wight
Xavier Baker, the Distiller said,
“The sailing community is obviously a market that appreciates a good gin and our carefully crafted Wight Mermaids Gin is the ideal post race refresher, served as a traditional Wight Mermaids Gin and Tonic or as the base for a Red Snapper.
“We are delighted to be part of Sail the Wight and supporting this year’s charity Age UK IW.”
There will be other chances to win bottles of the Wight Mermaids Gin as Sail the Wight launches other competitions for both sailors and spectators between now and the race.
