January 12, 2015

Dear Hayes,

Cottage Park Yacht Club is honored to be selected once again by US Sailing in coordination with

Mass Bay Sailing Association to host the 2015 USA Junior Olympic Sailing Festival- Mass Bay.

US Sailing’s Junior Olympic Program is a nationwide series of regattas for youth ages 8 to 18 to

promote junior sailing nationally as well as provide an Olympic path-way for talented young

sailors. C.P.Y.C is a family oriented yacht club located in Winthrop, MA just 4.5 miles from

downtown Boston. All races will be held in outer Boston and Winthrop Harbors with the City of

Boston skyline framing the backdrop. Our experienced Committee and small army of

volunteers are already working hard planning the event. We are asking for your support as a

Sponsor.

More than 250 sailors ages 8 to 18 representing over 40 sailing organizations and yacht clubs

will soon descend upon our Club and the Boston area to compete, socialize, and explore the

region; bringing with them and entourage family, friends, coaches, instructors, and supporters.

The demographics affirm that most sailing families have a household income of above $100,000,

own 2+ cars and are above average buyers of luxury goods. Our Junior Olympic sponsors and

supporters gain access to this tight-knit community of consumers.

By supporting the USA Junior Olympics Festival Harken will benefit from numerous publicity

and marketing opportunities associated with this exciting, beautiful, and "Green" event. We

focus on creating tangible sponsorship results from a variety of mediums including public media

and print advertising, email and web promotion, direct mail, and on-site promotion. We strive to

provide a premium level of contact to a very desirable demographic. To that end, your

sponsorship will be both broad and targeted to provide excellent brand awareness and the highest

exposure for your selling needs.

As a Sponsor of the USA Junior Olympics Festival-Mass Bay Harken will be affiliated with one

of the most prestigious youth sailing events in the country and one of the most widely attended

sailing events in New England attracting a remarkable mixture of affluent and impressionable

consumers. We have a variety of sponsorship marketing opportunities. Please take a moment

and review the attached proposal. We would love to have Harken involved as a partner in this

event!

Sincerely,

Rick Clancy – CPYC JO Regatta Sponsorship Coordinator

What is the Junior Olympic Program

US Sailing’s Junior Olympic Program is a naonwide series of youth regaas

to promote the enjoyment of sailing and development of skills to young sail-

ors as well as provide an Olympic pathway for talented junior sailors.

Events mix Olympic-style compeon with elements of learning and fun for

all levels–from beginning racers to those with Olympic aspiraons. For jun-

ior sailors with world-class ambions, JO events provide an opportunity to

compete in large, regional eets with Olympic-style racing. Sailors who excel

at JO events typically progress to the naonal arena.

In 2015, 30 events are planned in the connental United States and Hawaii

and over 4000 sailors expected to parcipate. Junior Olympic Sailing is coor-

dinated by US Sailing and sponsored naonally by West Marine, Gill and

Sperry Top-Sider.

Junior Olympic Program Goals

The Junior Olympic Movement

Sailing is only one of the many sports that oer Junior Olympic programs.

Junior Olympic compeon is coordinated by the Naonal Governing Bodies

(NGB) of each sport and by the Amateur Athlec Union (AAU). The rst

JO programs date back to the late 1970s and some 40 NGBs in the United

States run JO programs or events today. Junior Olympics come under the

umbrella of the Olympic movement, for each NGB is a member of the

United States Olympic Commiee (USOC).

 Engage young people in the excitement of sailing

 Encourage young sailors to enjoy racing

 Increase participation locally, regionally and nationally through

USA Junior Olympic Festivals

 Improve skills of young sailors through training
