Financial and Media Support for Clubs from Sponsors
Sponsors, Club Financial Support and Media are essential for the success of 13ft Skiff sailing. Hugh Skeen, a construction management student and 13s delegate at Manly Skiff Club, plays a dual role in promoting the class and securing sponsors. With 16 boats registered for the upcoming season, including new sponsors like Better Auto and IMEI, the fleet is set to be one of the strongest in recent years. The competition is heating up with close races, showcasing the growth and appeal of the 13ft skiff class. As more sailors show interest in transitioning from Flying 11 to 13ft skiffs, the class is expected to become even more competitive and attractive in the future.
