Glowfast supports 2010 Heaven Can Wait 24-hour Yacht Race

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).

Glowfast Cruising Series – Just as bright, half the price

Glowfast Cruising Series – Just as bright, half the price

At Glowfast we’re always working on making our products better, brighter, more durable and of course more cost effective which is why we’re thrilled to announce the release of Glowfast Luminous Draft Stripes – Cruising Series.

The Cruising Series will be a permanent addition to our range offering the same high quality glow for half the price of the original.

You may be asking how are we’re able to offer this product at half the price?

The Cruising Series uses a different production process to create the glow.

This makes the product just as effective, but does add some weight. This means that it’s perfect in situations where a couple of grams per square meter isn’t critical for performance. The Glowfast Cruising Series also has a protective coating that makes it more durable on sails that spend a lot of time out of the bag.

Also, we don’t recommend this product for use on spinnakers as it’s a little heavier. For application on spinnakers please use Glowfast Luminous Spinnaker V’s.

For more information contact your nearest Glowfast stockist.
