'It only seems like yesterday that we were involved in the 2006 Audi Etchell Worlds off Fremantle in WA' SLAM's representative, Jack Young commented.

'SLAM made a strategic plan to partner with a strong international class that Australia and New Zealand participate in, and the Etchell class fits that perfectly. It's the class that draws the best sailors from around the world, especially in the non Olympic or America Cup years,' he continued.

Following Freemantle in 2006, SLAM involvement continued internationally as the Major Sponsor of both the 2007 Etchells Worlds held in Cowes and the following year at the 2008 Etchells Worlds in Chicago.

They have also been active nationally, supporting the class at the Australian Etchells Championships in 2007 and 2008 as Official Clothing Supplier.

Young went on to thank the class for its support of SLAM, with competitors and families showing great interest in the brand both from a technical sailing gear and casual perspective.

' As always, we will have our marquee store at the Royal Brighton Yacht Club (RBYC) venue with event merchandise along with a range of technical apparel and footwear for sale. We will also present our new 2009 Core Sailing Range. Our event online regatta store will be open prior to the event for those competitor wanting to get in early or for those who will need gear specifically branded for the event.'

The 2009 Audi Etchells Worlds promise to make for exciting racing with talk of America's Cup legends such as John Bertrand joining other sailing champions to compete in the 90 strong fleet.

The 2009 Audi Etchells Worlds will take place from 5-14 March 2009.
