GO has teamed up with the young, dynamic crew members of the high-performance sailing boat, Artie, and will buoy up all their challenges at sea during the wide series of upcoming races. ArtieGO will be braving strong winds and any adverse weather conditions determined to outclass opposition competing in the 2008 sailing events.

ArtieGO gives an immediate sense of strength, durability and speed potential that the boat is well-recognised for in the local sailing scenario. Owned by Lee Satariano, and skippered by Christian Ripard and Lee Satariano himself, Artie prides in a young, self-motivated and energetic team that has, over a relatively short time span, succeeded in achieving extensive recognition both locally and internationally.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity of endorsing this sailing experience and we are proud to be sharing the commitments and challenges of ArtieGO and its dynamic crew for the coming year. The initiative met our immediate approval specifically because the experience emanates attitudes strongly in line with our new guiding brand values,” said David Kay, GO’s Chief Executive Officer.

“We trust that our initiative will encourage other young members of the local community to follow in the steps of the ArtieGO crew members and take up sailing as a life skill. The sport not only provides unlimited health benefits but is a great exercise in team-building and an outstanding antidote to modern-day problems such as drug abuse.”

“Best of luck goes to the ArtieGO team during their participation in the imminent races including the spring series, the Gozo weekend regatta and the Round Malta race amongst others,” said Mr Kay.
