GJW Direct have announced that they will become a major sponsor of the South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club’s 2012 Dinghy week, to be held week commencing 22nd July.

The SCYC Dinghy week has become one of the major annual regattas, attracting over 300 entries each year from all classes of dinghy from Optimists to 49ers.

Held in the wonderful sailing waters just off Abersoch in North Wales, the 2012 Dinghy week is now open for registrations.

Abersoch Dingy week is not only one of Yachts & Yachting's recommended, ‘must do events’, it’s a wonderful family occasion too, with an extensive social program including live bands, barbeques in the Club House overlooking the beautiful Cardigan Bay, children’s racing, coaching sessions for children and a golden sandy beach for all the family to enjoy.

Sponsors GJW Direct launched their, ‘all-inclusive’ dinghy insurance scheme earlier this year, where they claim that everything comes as standard. Their policy includes full racing risk cover, transit and trailer cover, refund of race entry fee, kit bag and contents cover and new for old on all items. GJW Direct will have a representative present during SCYC Dinghy week to discuss their dinghy policy with participants and offer a very competitive insurance quote.
