The 2009 FTBA Sailing Challenge (Previously known as FISC) will be the sixth staging of the regatta and promises to be the most successful to date, with many teams already having reserved their entry.
The regatta is open to entries from any company involved in the Furniture Industry including: retailers, manufacturers, importers, finance companies, logistics and other suppliers to the sector.
The FTBA Sailing Challenge 2009 is sponsored by Furniture News Magazine and Furniture Production Magazine and all the teams competing will receive editorial coverage in the high quality, comprehensive pre-and-post-event coverage of the event in the magazines. The FTBA Sailing Challenge 2009 would like to thank Furniture News and Furniture Production for their continued support of the regatta.
The regatta will once again be supporting the Furnishing Trades Benevolent Association as its official charity in 2009. A donation will be made to the FTBA for every person that participates in the regatta.
