Harken UK are delighted to
announce their support for the Westerly Owners’ Association’s 2015 National
Cruise with a selection of prizes for participants. The cruise is scheduled for
17-28th June when around 20 Westerlys will sail for Holland.
Harken have worked closely
with the Westerly Owners Association for a number of years, with the aim of
ensuring technical advice is always on hand for cruising sailors, wherever they
are in the world!
The Westerly Owners’
Association is one of the biggest boat-owner groups in the world with over
3,000 yachts represented by its membership. One of many special facilities the
Association offers to its members is a technical advisory service that largely
replaces the advice that the Westerly boat builders themselves would have
provided had the company not folded in 2000. Another part of the Association’s
offer is a thriving social network, one illustration of which is an annual
national cruise; in addition there are countless smaller area group activities
all around the UK coastline and elsewhere around the globe.
When asked about the agreed
support for the 2015 cruise WOA Commodore, Andy Truscott commented,
“The Association is delighted that Harken are again supporting our
national cruise. A growing number of our members’ boats feature Harken deckware
and rigging components as a key element of their boats’ hardware. In addition,
we’ve been pleased to note Harken’s willingness to provide technical service
and advice to members far and wide. Their involvement with our national cruise
is a pleasing progression in the working relationship between our two
organisations.”
Best
of luck to all taking part in the National Cruise this year from all the Harken
Team! We look forward to hearing all your news!
