Andrew Pindar of Pindar AlphaGraphics has just announced to yachtingworld.com his sponsorship deal with one of the Global Challenge yachts.

Pindar who sponsors Emma Richards Open 60 says the Global Challenge, which starts in less than a month’s time from Portsmouth, is the perfect platform in which to introduce his employees to sailing.

Chatting from the Southampton Boat Show Pindar said: “I’m looking forward to using this opportunity to introduce them to this amazing sport and us it as a team-building exercise. We have a space on the boat for a couple of the legs so I’m hoping to send at least one of my employees along.”

The boat will be skippered by 29-year-old Laurence Marriott from the Isle of Wight and will be logo-up accordingly in the Pindar AlphaGraphics colours.
