Thanks to Sail-World.com Giacomo VO70 (formerly Groupama 4) has been sold following three months of running banner advertising on their NZ, AUS, USA, Asia, UK, EUR and Canada websites and newsletters. This included Richard Gladwell writing a great promotional story about the boat which he reported as having had 7,100 reads on Sail-World and a further 4,370 reads on their Facebook page. Our France based broker Bernard Gallay also reported a lot of enquiries originating from the ads and the story. This all resulted in offers from two serious buyers in USA and EUR who are both wanting to race her in the Sydney Hobart race.
Both buyers were prompted by the advertising on Sail-World.com along with many other potential enquiries emanating from the promotion on Sail-World.com.

The new US owners, David and Peter Askew, with the boat renamed as ‘Wizard’, went on to repeat the win of IRC Class 0 in the 2017 Sydney Hobart Yacht Race to add to their 33rd Pineapple Cup – Montego Bay Race win on their previous Farr 60 ‘Wizard’.

(Note: This was advertised in June 2017, one year before Sail-World was upgraded to display advertisers social media on their stories which has significantly increased Sail-World advertisers benefits.)
