2009 CST Composites International
Moth Class
World Championships
Sponsorship Opportunities
The 2009 CST Composites International Moth Class
World Championships, which CGRA is bringing to Cascade Locks August 6-15,
presents a unique opportunity for members of the local business community to
increase visibility by associating with one of the year’s most exciting
international sailing events. The Moth Worlds is expected to attract 60-80
competitors and their families from around the world and will be widely covered
in the international sailing press. In addition, the spectacle of the best
sailors in the world competing in the fastest single-handed sailboats in the
world should attract considerable attention from spectators and the local press.
As a non-profit organization, the Columbia Gorge Racing Association relies on
the support of individual and corporate donors to conduct our sailing activities
and events. We hope you will join us in our efforts to showcase what we believe
is one of the finest sailing venues in the world, the Columbia River Gorge.
