Glowfast supports 2010 Heaven Can Wait 24-hour Yacht Race

The Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was conceived and promoted by Lake Macquarie resident, keen sailor and cancer survivor Shaun Lewicki as a major annual sailing event on the lake, to promote sailing, the Lake Macquarie/Newcastle/Hunter region – and to raise funds for cancer research.

The inaugural Heaven Can Wait 24 hour race was held on Lake Macquarie during the 2006 October Labour Day Long Weekend and attracted over 30 boats. In 2007, it was again held on Labour Day Long Weekend with the fleet almost doubling in size.

The 2009 event raised a record amount of funds -- nearly $25,000 -- for our charities, the NSW Cancer Council, Hunter Region, and the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol Lake Macquarie Division.

The 2010 event, the fifth Heaven Can Wait 24 Hour Yacht Race and One Lap Dash have been scheduled by the Heaven Can Wait Yacht Club and Toronto Royal Motor Yacht Club for October 2-3, 2010 and a significant growth in fleet size is again expected.

Glowfast Marine will be offering a discount to all race participants. So, if you own a sailboat that complies with YA’s Category 5N requirements, start planning to come along and make your own little bit of history on NSW’s Lake Macquarie during the October 2010 Long Weekend.

Proceeds of the 2010 will again benefit the NSW Cancer Council and the Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol (now Marine Rescue NSW).

Luminous Racing Sail Tape

Luminous Racing Sail Tape
 
Glowfast Sail Tape looking up at sail Luminous sail tape night luminous sail tape roll
Improve your sail handling and performance by as much as 20% at night by using Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape. Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape works by allowing you to see your entire sail shape at the one time leading to improved sail trim and boat handling. This results in less breakages and a significant improvement in your boat speed, safety and overall performance at night. (sail tape fact sheet)
 
A common concern voiced from the racing sailors is that Glowfast Sail Tape will allow other yachts to know where they are and what they are doing, but this is simply not the case as they are only visible for a couple of hundred metres and with a performance increase of up to 20% your competitors won't be that close for long.

Glowfast Luminous Sail Tapes automatically illuminate when it gets
dark making it possible to see all your draft stripes at the same time
enabling you to analyse your entire sail shape without the need for
artificial light.

Using patented technology Glowfast Luminous Sail Tapes offer
exceptional luminous properties. With as little as 10 minutes
exposure to light they will glow for up to 20+ hours, after which they
will automatically recharge the next time they are exposed light.

Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape can also be recharged by torch light.

Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape is manufactured specifically for the
yachting industry and is made using similar base materials to current
sail tapes, making it lightweight, durable and easy to install.

Lightweight: 220 grams per square metre. This is comparable to
traditional sail tapes and much less than reflective tapes and other
luminous materials on the market. We have also released our new range of Luminous Cruising Sail Tape which is a slightly heavier but more cost effective alternative.

Durable: Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape is extremely durable. It is
manufactured using the best materials and contains an aggressive
outdoor adhesive. If installed correctly Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape
will last the life of your sail.

Easy to Install: Glowfast Luminous Sail Tape is applied to sails
using exactly the same techniques used when applying standard
tapes and markings, which means no added time or extra
experience are required for installation.
