Professionals from some of the country’s largest financial institutions will be making their way to the world’s most famous sailing regatta in two weeks, to do battle in the Lendy Finance Challenge, sponsored by Lendy.

Organised in partnership between Cowes Week Ltd and Sunsail, the Official Charter Sailing Partner of Lendy Cowes Week, 17 teams have already confirmed their entry in the races that take place from 31 July – 4 August.

Those that have confirmed entry this year include Deloitte, Cazenove, Lyceum Capital and Tenzing Private Equity amongst others. Title sponsor Lendy will, of course, be out to win in their first year as sponsor of the Lendy Finance Challenge. Crews can look forward to a daily prize giving at Sunsail’s hospitality area in the lively Cowes Yacht Haven, with the overall champions being awarded the Lendy Finance Challenge Trophy.

All finance companies racing in the Sunsail Match First 40 class have been eligible to enter and Sunsails Events Director, Simon Boulding is looking forward to seeing who comes out on top. ”The Sunsail fleet is perfectly matched, creating the ideal platform for the crews to compete against each other on a level playing field. We are extremely pleased with the take-up of this year’s Lendy Finance Challenge and were sure all the individuals taking part will enjoy the racing but also the lively atmosphere of Lendy Cowes Week once back on dry land.”
