Description
Manhattan Yacht Club and The New York Harbor Sailing Foundation have a vision to build a sailing platform that can introduce more newyorkers to sport of sailing. The Club and the Foundation believe that there are enough people in New York who want to go sailing at least once a year. The long term vision is to grow Twelve Meter Heritage regatta every year and make a week long sailing festival in the future.
I had a zoom meeting with comodore of Manhattan Yacht Club to discuss potential sponsorhip of the club’s events. It is going to be a third Twelve Meter Heritage Regatta. The boats are iconinc and first of the kind was build in 1907. The New York Harbor Sailing Foundation and The Manhattan Yacht Club are commited to host this regeta annualy and grow number of participants and guests.
The Manhattan Yacht Club is the largest and most active sailing organization in New York Harbor. The Club embodies the spirit of openness and inclusivity. MYC re-introduced recreational sailing to New York Harbor in 1987. The Manhattan yacht Clubs have connections with more than 32 Yacht Clubs around the world (Reciprocal Foreign Yacht Clubs).
Manhatatn Yacht Club has a long history of hosting sailing events. MYC is looking for sponsors for the Twelve Meter Heritage Regatta. The event is sponsored by The New York Harbor Sailing Foundation Inc. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation which promotes amateur events of national and international importance. This is why the Twelve Meter Regatta is important event of national and international importance. The Twelve meter class has many loyal fans in USA and around the world, especialy in the Mediterranean countrues such as France, Italy, Monaco and many others.
The Manhattan Yacht Club serves as the Race Committee for the event. This year, the format of the regatta is changed and more people would be able to participate in sailing and watch the event from spectator boats. There will be four Twelve Meter boats welcoming guests plus spectator boats.
Long term collaboration
This is a great opportunity for NounsDAO to establish a long lasting relationship with Manhattan Yacht Club and NY Harbor Sailing Foundation. New York is home to many famous people, companies, and festivals. NounsDAO would be able to promote noggles, tell story of Nouns, onboard new people, and create global visibility.
By sponsoring the regatta, NousDAO would reach various demographic groups internationaly and gain exposure that would capture attention on social neetworks and further proliferate NounsDAO. For example, Twelve Meter sailing class is well known and respected in USA, mediterranean countries, especially in France, Italy, and Monaco.
The Nouns sponsorship would help Manhatatn Yacht Club, NY Harbor Sailing Foundation, and sailing teams to cover some of the logistics expenses. In return, the Nouns would be able to create visibility and engage with guests.

The first boat was build in 1907 (learn more about 12 meter sailboat class on wikipedia)
