A national champion in our SACC YP network 

The mix of Sweden and Australia has proven to be successful again. Simon Skoog (SACC YP) together with his Australian crew (Nick Reader) has recently won both the NSW Championship and the Australian Championship in the high performing sailing class; Formula 16 catamaran.

They are now preparing for the World Championship in Perth 2022 and they are looking for a sponsor that wants to be part of their journey. It’s an excellent chance for companies that want to gain brand awareness, doing sailing events with teams or customers and get the opportunity to have hundreds of sailors trying their products during events. See the sponsor proposal here.
