'Make new friends’. That is one of the mottos of PUMA Sailing. Our program wants to reach new people, sailors, non sailors, everyone on the planet. Over the weekend, we helped to sponsor US college semi-finals, bringing both the west coast and east coast University sailing teams to Boston. We hosted the skippers meeting off the second floor balcony of PUMA City, had Kenny speaking to the students during the dinner, and we were also out on the water with our PUMA Bladerider Moths.
The level of enthusiasm these kids brought to the race village was amazing. We had about 300 sailors really excited to get out on the water, and really excited that PUMA was playing the game. During the past seven months, PUMA has been traveling around the world with pro sailors who are at the top of their sport. With the college sailors, we were seeing how it all begins- sailing small boats around the buoys, in a protected piece of water. All of the guys on il mostro grew up learning to sail that way too. Whatever type of sailing you’re into, it’s about getting out there, day after day, just for the love of the sport. I bet if you ask the PUMA Ocean Racing crew, they’ll tell you some things never change.
