I would like to invite you or your company to sponsor me in this endeavor. I have invested my own life savings into purchasing a suitable boat, an Islander 36. My father, a British-trained Shipwright is investing much time and money for the highest quality reinforcements and equipment. I am at a point in my venture that I need additional sponsors in order to complete these preparations and purchase the remaining equipment thus bringing the boat to an acceptable standard of safety to ensure a successful circumnavigation.
The voyage will be covered by national and international media and will provide enormous exposure for company or companies involved. The boat in now equipped with 4 video cameras in underwater housings to capture my journey at sea.
