Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) is to host the first-ever Jaffa WPNSA Asymmetric Cup in a competition to see who can lift the Jaffa Cup.
Jaffa is one of the most historic and well-known citrus brands in the UK and their first sailing regatta is to take place on 8-9 May.
The regatta is open to three different class associations - 29er, B14 and Musto Skiff - with all classes competing on one race course. The winner will receive the prestigious Jaffa Cup for the very first time as well as a cash prize for the first 29er.
The Regatta is the first stop of many on Jaffa’s Zest for Life Tour 2010. As part of the tour, Jaffa will also be visiting a variety of UK cities throughout the summer to help promote health, fitness and awareness among the younger generation.
It will be present at and supporting various events around the country including the regatta and beach volleyball events, and supporting youth engagement programmes as well as Team GB Basketball.
The WPNSA provides the ideal starting location for the Jaffa tour, as it allows Jaffa to showcase its sponsorship around the event, having been proud sponsors of the Academy venue for the past two years.
The WPNSA is also a centre for youth engagement as it hosts many events for young sailors and up-and-coming sailing talent.
Chris Knight, business manager at the WPNSA, said: “Entries are building well for the Jaffa Asymmetric Regatta this May. It will be a great fun weekend at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy with racing across three dynamic classes.”
Entries for the event must be in by 2 May and can be secured via the events section of www.sailracer.co.uk.
At the regatta, the Jaffa VW camper van will be supplying fruit and juices as well as a DJ set up in the dinghy park.
