The Laser class has a new sponsor for its Munster Championships in Baltimore

Craftinsure Ltd will be supporting the 2018 Laser Munster Championships taking place over the Easter Weekend at Baltimore, Co. Cork.

The Laser partnership builds upon close links already well established with IODAI and the Optimist Class in Ireland by the insurer.

'We continue to see a steady growth in the number of Lasers we cover, both in Ireland and the UK, and it’s great to see young Optimist sailors we’ve insured progressing to the Irish Laser fleet', said Craftinsure’s Rod Daniel.

Baltimore Sailing Club are currently in negotiations regarding title sponsorship of the event, a spokesperson told Afloat.ie
