THE RACE OF YOUR LIFE

description

At this presentation, David Cusworth provided insights into leadership and low carbon efficiency displayed in the Clipper Round the World Race. David Cusworth, Development Director, a circum-navigator and Clipper Race participant himself in 2002, looks at the World's longest yacht race and will: * give insights into the design of the low carbon and stripped down, state of the art Clipper 70's which undertake the 40,000 mile race head on - the new design is all about better performance . * explain crew team building and race strategies - less weight equals more competitive, but means difficult decisions on clothing, equipment and even in meal rations - there are no stores on the oceans to buy a pint of milk or pick up new parts.

INTRODUCING THE CLIPPER RACE GLOBAL OCEAN ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY (GOES)" "The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race is evolving :- !Ocean Acidification, Marine Biodiversity & Climate Change are now of such concern we had to do something…."Scottish marine scientist, Dr Howard Dryden, had the answer - with 12 boats circumnavigating the globe, Clipper GOES will not only offer the world’s longest race, but will collect data for another race – the race for the life of our oceans (Clipper GOES for short)

The race has a lasting effect even after the fleet has set sail, leading to economic investment, increased tourism for destination brands and job creation.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

Page 22: The Race of Your Life by David Cusworth, Clipper Round the World (15.09.14)

From stand out branding on a yacht and crew, to branded race village areas, having your brand featured in all race marketing materials and on the official high traffic website means that targeted exposure can be created in a controlled and measured environment.

BRAND ASSOCIATION

Using the analogy that success in offshore racing is derived from hard work, dedication and teamwork, partners can use the race platform to motivate and inspire staff to go beyond their limits in the workplace and improve business productivity.
