Mad Max and crew are actively seeking opportunities for sponsorship and in order to participate and succeed in as much sailing we can possibly do.

Local yacht racing rules have recently been modified to allow advertising on racing sailboats, which has caused a surge in corporate sponsorship and media exposure. Some of the corporate sponsors in our area include Mercedes Benz, Yellow Pages, Harmony Airways, Raytheon, American Express and Nortel Networks.

Sailboat racing programs use their sponsorship monies to fund the constant upkeep, upgrading and repairing of these amazing machines. Sponsors benefit from their relationships with racing yachts by having their logo or message strongly represented on the highly visible sails and hulls during yacht races, sail-pasts, and at the docks during large-scale regattas.

In order to put the best campaign forward, with the greatest chance to be successful this season, we need to partner with various individuals and companies through sponsorship arrangements. The Mad Max racing program is happy to provide any information you may need to become a partner in our success. The program needs donations ranging from equipment, safety gear, clothing, and of course finance. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss any ideas you or your company may have.

Because of her high profile looks and competitive attitude, Mad Max often appears in local yachting magazines such as Pacific Yachting, and North 49. She is currently featured on posters and shelf cards in all North Shore Credit Union branches, as well as the Easter Seals Regatta website www.eastersealsregatta.ca. She attracts regatta photographers wherever she goes, and is likely one of the most photographed boats in Vancouver.
