We are delighted to announce that Ian Johnson of Select Office Furniture has agreed to a 3 year sponsorship deal with our club. Select Office Furniture will be sponsoring our safety boat called Karl Giles.
Ian joined FFSC over 30 years ago. Ian said “As a family, we sailed a 505 at Alton Water, which was great fun, but too small for a 505. During a drought, Alton Water resembled a golf course with linked water hazards, so we decided to Join FFSC. FFSC offered the perfect location for the safety of the river if it was too windy and an easy trip out to sea if conditions allowed. After several years of sailing a 505 badly (mostly upside down), Andy Robinson talked us into purchasing a Dart 18 named “Objet D’Art”. As 3 of us sailed, we then purchased another one “Only Stoned”. As the Dart is such good fun to sail, quick and simple to rig, we still race (in the loosest sense of the word) one on a Wednesday evening. My wife and I have just purchased a Sadler 34 yacht, having been without a yacht for about 5 years and are hoping to be getting involved with the cruising side of the club in the future”
Here is a photo of Ian racing one Wednesday evening.
Select Office Furniture’s name is rather a giveaway of what they do. Catering for all sizes of businesses from local government to home offices, they even manufacture their own range of quality Business Seating. Based in Bury St Edmunds, they cover a wide geographical area and are always happy to help, whether that is with seating set up, space planning and design or any other advice on office ergonomics.
We thank Ian and his company for supporting our club, it is very much appreciated.
