Dee Caffari becomes Sunsail Ambassador
NEW AMBASSADOR: Sunsail has announced that British yachtswoman, Dee Caffari, has joined its team as a brand ambassador.
She was the first woman to sail single-handed and non-stop around the world in both directions, and is the only woman to have sailed non-stop around the world three times.
Most recently Ms Caffari was part of the all-female crew in the Volvo Ocean Race 2014/15.
Scott Farquharson, Sunsail’s general manager, said: “Dee Caffari is an exceptional athlete. Her sheer endurance, sense of adventure and passion for this exhilarating sport is second to none.”
“These qualities along with her charisma and love for travel make her the perfect choice for us. We look forward to working with this highly respected ambassador to promote sailing at its best.”
Sunsail and Ms Caffari’s joint mission is to grow participation in sailing, with a strong emphasis on encouraging female sailors to challenge and open up the sport further for both genders
Ms Caffari will be attending several events during the year with Sunsail, including Ladies Day at Cowes Week as well as the Southampton Boat Show.
She is also a patron for the charity Sail 4 Cancer, a charity Sunsail is actively involved in with the aim of raising funds and awareness for the great work that they do.
Ms Caffari concluded: “I am passionate about the sport of sailing and if I can help others get involved and experience what the sport can offer it makes me happy.”
“Working alongside Sunsail UK is a great opportunity as together we can offer everyone access to the sport at a variety of levels, from racing to cruising on amazing holidays in stunning locations.”
