Quantum Key West Race Week kicked off late final month in Outdated City Key West. It was the twenty ninth yr for the worldwide regatta, this yr hosted by Storm Trysail Membership (the infamous host of Block Island Race Week) for the primary time. For the previous two years Chelsea Clock has been a proud trophy sponsor, and this yr — our third — felt further particular.
Other than being a beloved maritime occasion, this yr Quantum Key West Race Week 2016 participated in Sailors for the Sea’s Clear Regattas Program. The Clear Regattas program is at the moment the one sustainability certification for water-based occasions on the earth. Chelsea Clock has a protracted, storied relationship with the ocean and helps making the maritime business ecofriendly and sustainable, and we applaud Storm Trysail Membership for taking this vital and essential step.
Concerning the Trophies:
Ten winners from each professional and newbie courses obtained Chelsea Carbon Fiber Flag clocks mounted on strong mahogany bases with personalised brass engraving plates. We felt the Carbon Fiber Flag clock was an ideal match for this occasion resulting from its etched carbon-fiber dial with brightly coloured nautical flags!
