The 2000 Class Association is delighted to be able to announce a special sponsorship arrangement for 2022 and 2023 with C'est La Vie, a jewellery designer and maker.

C'est La Vie is the design name for Cathy Ash-Vie of Lymington, Hampshire, a lady soaked in sailing by her time afloat and family life. A dedicated sailor, she's even more dedicated to her craft:

"I hand-make authentically detailed nautical silver and gold jewellery, recognisable by sailors around the world. C'est La Vie has a catalogue of knots, blocks, shackles, and other nautical miniatures, all in stunning detail.

These exclusive and timeless collectables are a beautiful and visible symbol of our shared passion and bond to the sailing world"

C'est La Vie's home is the sailing centre of Lymington on the Solent just a couple of creeks away from Keyhaven, the location for the 2000 Class Association National Championships in 2023.

C'est La Vie will be providing the 2000 Class with some very special prizes for the 2023 National Championships and other events yet to be decided. Class Association members will benefit from special prices during 2022 and 2023, the perfect way to ensure your Significant Other doesn't feel too aggrieved at a sailor's absence for weekends during the summer perhaps?
