The Race organisers at the Island Sailing Club, together with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and their Race Communications teams headed up by Peta Stuart-Hunt for the Race, J.P. Morgan’s agency Into the Blue and Next Generation Results (NGR), say they are honoured to have been nominated for a Maritime Foundation Award this year.
The Race website, which is designed and maintained by Andrew Rayner and his team at NGR and its entire contents supplied by a mix of internal and external resources – from all the news elements to the comprehensive practical information, plus outstanding imagery, videos and blogging, not to mention the importance of tracking technology and results – received a Certificate of Merit in the First Sea Lord’s Digital Media category.
The 85th edition of this globally recognised Race is being held on 2nd July 2016 which will be J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s final outing as Title Sponsor. They intend to make it a true celebration of everything that is best and most loved about this extraordinary day on the water; a day that annually attracts over 1,500 yachts and 12,000 competitors.
Entries open on 15th January 2016.
