Rooster® a leading provider of high-quality sailing gear, proudly announces its sponsorship of the 2024 Women's Open Keelboat Championships (WOKC). This partnership reflects Rooster®'s dedication to supporting women in sailing and its commitment to designing specialised gear tailored for female sailors.

The Women's Open Keelboat Championships is a prestigious event that showcases the skill and expertise of female sailors in keelboat racing. As a company deeply passionate about promoting inclusivity and diversity within the sailing community, Rooster® is honoured to align itself with this empowering event.

"We are thrilled to sponsor the Women's Open Keelboat Championships this year," said Kate Morrison, Marketing and Product Manager at Rooster Sailing Ltd. "At Rooster®, we aim to provide sailors with the right gear they need to excel on the water. It feels like a natural progression for us to extend our support from our successful women's dinghy sailing clothing sector into keelboat sailing. Sponsoring the WOKC not only allows us to support women in sailing but also presents an exciting opportunity for collaboration and innovation."

In addition to sponsoring the event, Rooster® is set to launch a selection of new products aimed at inshore racing later this season. This new line of gear is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of inshore sailors and racers, offering enhanced performance and comfort on the water. The partnership with the WOKC provides Rooster® with a valuable opportunity to engage with sailors and gather feedback for future product development.

"We are excited to collaborate with the organisers and participants of the WOKC," added Kate. "Our shared commitment to advancing the sport of sailing aligns perfectly with the goals of the event."

The Women's Open Keelboat Championships will take place from 10-12 May at Royal Southern Yacht Club, Hamble.
