Help or Sponsorship please...

[PaulC]

I am writing this to you in the hope that someone may be able to help......

I have recently been involved in an incident sailing back across the Atlantic....

This article from the Times Newspaper will give you some idea as to what happenned..

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2-120185,00.html

The story is generating quite a lot of interest with the media, especially as she has now been recovered by a Sword Fishing boat from Florida....

Sailing Today magazine c/o John Goode (editor) are preparing an article due Aug' 10th.

I am desperatly seeking sponsorship to be able to re-mast, re-rig and purchase new sails so that I can complete this venture. I can offer some very good PR and publicity in exchange for any help at all offered. A follow up story will be done on my return to the UK, if I am successful in bringing her back to the UK......And yet more PR for anyone interested...

This is the web site I created for the trip, with pictures and a message board ( updated with progress as to Salvage etc) http://www.redhse1.demon.co.uk/contessa.htm

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this..

I doubt whether Yachting Monthly will be able to help

Tactical error, Paul

There is a tradition among seafarers of unquestioning response to help for those at sea who are in danger.

However, for those on dry land who have been in danger at sea.................
