GASANMAMO INSURANCE SUPPORTS LOCAL TALENT ABROAD

GasanMamo sponsors MYSC Calypso for the 2017 J/70 World Championships
A big part of GasanMamo Insurance’s philosophy is Corporate Social Responsibility—the simple notion that by giving back to individuals, companies are enriching lives and building a better community. So, in an effort to support local talent and promote Malta abroad, GasanMamo will be sponsoring the MYSC Calypso in the J/70 World Championships.
The J/70 keelboat is a yacht that is steadily conquering the globe. Built for all sailors, with an eleven-foot long cockpit and an adequate boom height, the J/70 allows for easy crew movement whilst tacking and jibing. Over the past years, its appearance on the competitive sailing scene has risen, culminating in the J/70 World Championships.
Named after the sea nymph daughter of Atlas, the MYSC Calypso will be steered by skipper Sebastian Ripard and tactician Benji Borg. With a passion of boats and the water from a young age, Sebastian and Benji, first teamed-up in the Malta Young Sailors Club, sailing optimists. Their partnership saw them run a campaign for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
“GasanMamo are proud to support Sebastian and Benji in their sailing endeavour at next year’s J/70 World Championships” said Julian J. Mamo, Managing Director at GasanMamo. “This is a wonderful venture to get behind, which nurtures our home-grown talent on an international stage”.
Hosted by the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club and taking place over four-days, the fourth edition of the J/70 World Championship will kick-off on the 12th September 2017, in scenic Porto Cervo, Italy. More than a beautiful location, Porto Cervo will offer competitors a technical racing field with great sailing waters, and the hospitality of the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club, which will also be celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. www.gasanmamo.com
