a future in sailing: a consortium lead initative in plymouth
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
PLYMOUTH TODAY
Plymouth is a developing city with a great Maritime History. However to the rest of Britain and within the sailing world it struggles to deliver a coherent message about its assets and viability as a centre of maritime excellence. Sam Goodchild Racing has offered the services of its management team to head up a Plymouth Consortium to put Plymouth back on the map of International Maritime Excellence. This will run alongside their own Vendee Globe 2016 Campaign.
There is a wealth of experience and talent that has never had one place to discuss, develop and expand their respective interests, innovations and skills to allow the true potential of Plymouth to shine in a competitive world.
In the ROOM tonight
We work with some of the best companies in the UK - let that include you.

To work with the existing skills and assets within the city to build a team with a modern,
professional outlook on Sailing which can capitalise on its ability to call itself
BRITAIN’S OCEAN CITY
CLEAR VISION
PUBLIC RELATIONS : MEDIA IMPACT
VESTED INTEREST BY THE CITY
ACADEMIC INTEREST IN SUCCESS
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

GOOD PLANThe plan is to build a consortium with FIVE KEY
elements
If this was going to be easy then we would not be here tonight. We have a saying in Formula 1 . “ If you have to think about it, it’s too late”. The other major sailing host cities are not going to take our efforts lying down. So resilience by all is an important ingredient.
Be Resilient
Endurance sports thrives on the word CAN’T. There will be many doubters but few achievers so determination will sort out the people with passion about the Future of Sailing in Plymouth and the people who just can’t stay the distance.
Be Determined
Five key partners

WHO WILL DELIVER THE FIVE KEY ELEMENTS
Each Key partner will select two representatives.

They will then represent the partners with the clear intention of developing a long term
strategy and delivery of a master plan for A Future in Sailing
Selection of Consortium members
Sam’s role in the project is simple. Maintain the momentum to achieve his
goal of entering the 2016 Vendee Globe. Inspire young people to want to sail and
engage with their water environment. Be a good role model and increase Plymouth’s
synergy with Single – handed racing worldwide.
SAM GOODCHILD RACING
To work with the council to develop host city sailing events that are on message , appropriate, on budget, professionally run and strategically placed within the International race calendar. Resource from the consortium the skills that are needed to achieve this vision and allocate relevant skills and budget to negotiate long term assets and sponsorship acquisition for the city. Look after the brand and what it stands for on the global stage.
Destination Plymouth
The University is the hub of innovation, education and the capacity to link business, technology and the Future of Sailing into major National and International centres. It will bring rationale and alignment to an existing fragmented message coming out of the city about its sailing , innovation and capacity to deliver at the sharp end.
Plymouth University
Every project needs a physical home and a natural choice for this is where the history and rule making of single handed sailing is situated. We have an opportunity to define the Wimbledon of sailing here in Plymouth. All sport has a home or headquarters. This does not banish other centres of sailing but it does give the outside world a marker in the sand to understand the message coming out of Plymouth. Also it is an asset that no other British port has. USE IT
Royal Western Yacht Club
Horizon Sailing Charity gives us a “reality check “ and feet on the ground perspective to the whole project. When the consortium loses its way in conversations of commercial greatness and taking on the world of sailing. Horizon’s will always define the roots of Plymouth and its history. Social Responsibility is not an add-on . It is a necessity to the principles of good practice.
Horizon’s Sailing Charity
History comes in different forms and has an impact on people’s lives in many ways. Whether you served under Blondie Hasler, were a seven year boy on Plymouth Hoe when Chichester arrived in Plymouth or sailing to school with Sam Goodchild in Grenada on a hot sunny morning. It is the Future that counts and it in our hands
