WLYC 24 Hour Race Sponsors
Our Sponsors
West Lancashire Yacht Club is proud to partner with a number of outstanding organisations who support the WLYC 24 Hour Race and our wider mission to promote sailing for all ages and abilities. Their generosity plays a vital role in making our events and programmes possible.
International Yacht Paints
We are delighted to welcome International Yacht Paints as the lead supporter of this year's 24 Hour Race. A global name in marine coatings, Internationals commitment to innovation and performance reflects the spirit of the event itself. Their support ensures the continued growth and professional delivery of the race, and we are proud to be working alongside such a respected name in sailing.

Marine Supplies Direct
Returning with their well-known enthusiasm and expertise, Marine Supplies Direct (MSD) continue to be a valued supporter of the race. Having played an instrumental role in the successful relaunch of the event last year, MSD return this year as our on-site chandlery, offering essential products, expert advice, and a warm welcome to all participants.
MSD are also sourcing a fantastic range of donated raffle prizes, with all proceeds going to our Junior Development Programme — helping local schoolchildren experience the thrill of sailing.
