Sponsor Update: Fawcett Boat Supplies
I am excited to announce Fawcett Boat Supplies as the main sponsor for this 2021 Mini Transat campaign!
Since my initial discussions with Bernard Jammet, the owner of Fawcett, and his knowledgeable team, I am thrilled to officially highlight their shared passion for my mission to represent U.S. Patriot Sailing. Fawcett is a boating supply cornerstone in the Annapolis community, serving sailors and power boaters since 1948. With a focus on quality and customer service, I trust Fawcett Boat Supplies for critical gear on my Classe Mini 6.50 to help get me across the Atlantic Ocean solo on a 21’ sailboat.
Thanks to their sponsorship, Fawcett Boat Supplies is outfitting a significant portion of this campaign with the necessary gear and safety equipment listed below. I look forward to using these quality products throughout my upcoming racing season and will explain more about the equipment in future updates. I am also happy to answer any questions throughout this journey!

Did you know? Annapolis Inflatables is now a part of Fawcett Boat Supplies! They are the premier inflatable dealer in the Mid-Atlantic region. Refer to them for all of your inflatable purchases and servicing needs!
Having Fawcett Boat Supplies as the main sponsor of this campaign is a major step towards getting to the starting line of the Mini Transat. They believe in this cause and I look forward to representing them.
One of the many reasons why sponsors are willing to support this campaign is because of the community support provided through my Go Fund Me page and beyond. We have made so much progress, but have a way to go!
This massive undertaking requires backing from those who believe in this mission. I ask for your donations through my Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/pgn-ocean-racing-in-the-mini-transat-race
