Peters & May renews event partnerships

Peters & May is reaffirming its commitment to support international yacht racing with continued sponsorship of the 52 SUPER SERIES and the transatlantic ARC Rally, run by the World Cruising Club.

Although both on and offshore events are still facing limitations, organisers of the ARC and the TP52 fleet are looking ahead to a return to racing this year.

Peters & May has also confirmed its support as partner sponsors to two other prominent events in the yacht racing calendar, the Cape 2Rio Race 2023 and the Beneteau Cup which recently took place in Hong Kong.

“As a long-term partner of both the 52 SUPER SERIES and the ARC, we’re proud to be trusted to continue these valued relationships by providing ongoing support to participants,” says Peters & May CEO Simon Judson. “We know how eager competitors and participants will be to get back round the cans or head out to sea, and we look forward to seeing many familiar faces once more, as well as getting to know new participants.”

While the pandemic halted most events for the highly competitive TP52 fleet in 2020, three regattas are now planned for late summer and autumn in the Balearic Islands, with a more extensive schedule in place for 2022.

Peters & May has supported the 52 SUPER SERIES since the start, shipping the grand-prix monohulls as well as transporting their containers of equipment, RIBs, kit, and spares, and handling all customs requirements on behalf of crew.
