DCQ for Foreigners accepted for Richard Hewson

Posted byRichard HewsonPosted inUncategorized

It is now confirmed that my application for a derogation place for DCQ Foreigner for the 2013 Mini Transat has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Classe Mini. The list of competitors is on the website http://www.classemini.com

Now this has been confirmed now I can get my campaign under full swing, this means the purchase of my new boat, flights to be booked, and the entry fee for the Mini Transat 2013 to be paid and sponsorship acquired.

This news is very exciting and given I continue to maintain good results in the qualification races and complete my 1000nm qualifier in the Atlantic it guarantees me a place in the 2013 Transat.

Sponsorship is still my main focus at the moment and will determine if I can afford a boat that will win the race or I have to settle for something older and more affordable, either way, expect hewsonracing to be on the start for the 2013 Mini Transat in a boat that can be named by YOU.

For information about how to sponsor me in the 2013 Mini Transat, please visit http://www.hewsonracing.com, click on the sponsorship icon and download the Mini Transat Sponsorship powerpoint, or please feel free to contact me at hewsonracing@gmail.com or call me on +61459467558
