Sponsorship
Powermann provides sponsorship for a number of teams and events, the main thrust being to encourage success through the pursuit of excellence and team work. Strong emphasis is placed on youth activities.

Powermann sailing sponsorship
The Powermann support RIB (top right) is frequently seen throughout the UK at major sailing venues offering safety cover and a stable platform for on the water judging and training with special support for RYA www.rya.org.uk Youth Squad sailors. In 2005 it was trailed to Spain to support the UK International Cadet Squad at the world championships in Sanxenxo.

The Powermann sponsored 49er (pictured left) is located at Parkstone Yacht Club to offer young sailors the opportunity to experience Olympic level sailing. With the Olympic sailing venue at Weymouth in 2012 Powermann hopes to encourage interest at this level from local sailors by offering youngsters access to a suitable boat.

Powermann Supporting the UK’S 2012 Olympic Campaign
Powermann's support of sailing is designed to reflect the company's own attributes within the electrical supply industry together with an acknowledgment that in youth lies the company's future. With this in mind Powermann are pleased to announce an extension to their sailing sponsorship this year to support the 2012 Olympic Campaign.

We are delighted to be supporting Miles and Ole (right) in the International Cadet “Pulling Power”. They have qualified for the 2005/2006 RYA Cadet National Junior Squad with a target of representing England at the World Championships at Balatonfüred in Hungary in the summer of 2006.

“UPROAR”, a Poole based Impala Offshore One Design race boat is being actively campaigned by a group of young sailors from Poole www.gbr9561.com. Following a successful early season campaign in local waters the Team headed west to take part in the prestigious Royal Torbay Yacht club regatta at Torquay www.gbr9561.com/news/250/. Scoring a very creditable 2nd in class to a more experienced and heavier crew the Team were very pleased with the result and thanked Powermann for the new Spinnaker which helped them perform so well!

The Powermann sponsored 420 racing dingy

www.420sailing.org.uk is now in full campaign mode. The helm has been selected and, following some early trials, a crew has joined the Team.

The first outing for the new pair was at Rutland Water over the last weekend in November in a biting F3-4 north wind, not the best environment to get to grips with the new, technical and powerful sailing boat! Miles (helm) and Richard (crew), both from Parkstone Yacht Club in Poole finished every race, not easy in the conditions, and now realise the very steep learning curve they are on to transfer from the little International Cadet dingy they are both used to, to a high performance trapeze boat in an older age group.
