The first ever DARK BLUE BOOK – the Who’s Who of Yacht Racing is printed and selling well. Featuring skippers, sponsorship directors, journalists, photographers, event organisers, yacht club commodores and more, the directory is destined to become an invaluable resource for anyone in the business of professional sailing.
With the lessons of the first edition under our belt, the publishers of the book have decided that in 2010, the resource will focus more on people and faces and less on brands and and logos. It will also include more semi-professional sailors – those at the top of their game in IRC and Olympic classes.
Editor David Fuller says:
Now that people know what the book looks like and the benefits provided by being listed, we can focus on making it more useful to people. In 2010, people will be able to add a brief sailing CV and things like Skype details.
Many sailors that have been involved with the Volvo Ocean Race, America’s Cup or Vendee Globe are moving onto new projects. Old sponsors are making way for new ones and keeping track of people is made easier through the use of a resource like the DARK BLUE BOOK.
