The International and UK RS Feva Class Associations are pleased to announce that PA Consulting Group, an employee-owned consulting, technology and innovation firm with 2,500 people around the world, is sponsoring the 2015 RS Feva World Championships and UK National Championships.

The World Championship competition will take place in July 2015, during the Travemunde Woche on the German Baltic coast and the UK Nationals will take place on Rutland Water (UK) from 29th-31st May 2015 Over 360 young sailors from over 20 countries will participate in the World Championships with over 250 sailors participating in the UK Nationals.

Alan Middleton, PA Consulting Group’s chief executive officer, says: “Our sponsorship of the RS Feva UK Nationals and World Championships recognises the importance of sport and competition in the development of our leaders of the future. We are excited to be sponsoring this competition and wish all entrants good luck in their preparation.”

David Cotterill, Chairman of the UK RS Feva Class Association, says “it’s fantastic to have a great blue-chip sponsor, supporting our young sailors, and is a reflection of the profile that UK junior sailing is achieving. PA Consulting recognises that many of our next generation leaders need the skills which sailing develops – fitness, mental agility, strategy and tactics, combined with the will to win”.

The RS Feva XL is the fastest-growing dinghy in the world and is a great proving ground for the potential UK and world sailors to develop their skills to the highest standards. Many of the sailors who are hoping to medal at the Olympics in Brazil in 2116 have come through the RS Feva class.
