Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and Old Mutual International Renew Long-standing Partnership

30 July 2015

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is proud to announce an extension to its long-standing partnership with Old Mutual International (formerly Skandia International).

This company has been an Official Partner for the Adult and Youth Sail Training Programs hosted by the Club since 2007 and added the title sponsorship of the Top Dog Trophy Series of pursuit races in 2014. Old Mutual International will continue its association with these programmes and events under this renewed agreement.

Torrey J. Dorsey, Corporate and International Partnerships Manager Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, said, “It is an honour to continue our affiliation with one of the leading wealth management companies; particularly given their historical commitment to the development of the sport of sailing in Hong Kong and abroad. The ongoing association with Old Mutual International enables us to continue our efforts to promote sailing to our members and the wider community. We look forward to celebrating more success – on and off the water – with Old Mutual International.”

Peggy Wong, Marketing Manager, Old Mutual International, Hong Kong said, “The sponsorship with Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is a great partnership and we are proud to be able to work with a recognised club in Hong Kong. The sponsorship allows us to encourage more people to participate in the sport of sailing and we are pleased to see that the enrolment into the Old Mutual International Adult and Youth Sail Training Programmes has been increasing steadily.”

Old Mutual International Adult and Youth Sail Training Programs are held throughout the year at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and are available for members and non-members.

The Old Mutual Top Dog Trophy Series 2015-2016 will commence with the Lipton Trophy presented by Old Mutual on 21 November 2015.
