Royal Caribbean are the Principal Sponsor of our Junior Competition Squad that spans W/J15 to 19. These juniors have all demonstrated talent and commitment to the sport and recent successes at national events and participation of the GB programme attracted this global travel company to their inspiring story.
The funding will help these juniors meet their ambitious goals through the purchase of new skinny blades, the hire of high specification racing boats for race days and training equipment to help them develop and compete at a national level. Joining the WEY fleet will be a state-of-the-art Filippi racing double, part funded from the partnership and due to be named ‘The Royal Wey’.
Royal Caribbean International, whose EMEA headquarters are based locally at The Heights in Weybridge, has been delivering some of the world’s top holidays for more than 50 years and with ships that sail all over the world, the brand prides itself on offering fun-filled and innovative experiences for guests of all nationalities to create lifelong memories.
Ben Bouldin, Vice President EMEA, Royal Caribbean International comments: “We’re excited to be able to support Weybridge Rowing Club moving into their 2022 season. Following their recent gold medal British Championship win, it is clear that the junior squad have a bright future ahead of them and we’re glad that we at Royal Caribbean can support them in this journey.”
Kostas Didaskalou, Lead Coach of the Junior Squad at WEY said: “Our partnership with Royal Caribbean enables us to pull together and win as a team, continuing to make the impossible possible. The funding from this agreement will help us deliver standout moments and experiences that will last a lifetime.”
