The Yachting Championship was flagged off from the Training Ship Jawahar in Colaba, Mumbai. It was an hour and a half long race which saw over 100 boats and more than 250 sailors participating, making this event the largest ever Yachting championship in India.
The sailors ranged from top junior sailors in India to Asian Games medalists and participants, Olympic sailors to serious yachtsmen in their luxurious high-tech yachts.
The championship marked the participation of a wide range of classes of boats. These were Optimist (juniors), 420, 470, J24, Enterprize, Seabird, Lightning, Hobie, Lasers, Windsurfer, Finn, 29er, Unclassified big boats and most importantly and anticipated, an exclusive, one of the fastest in water, 49er class boat, which is a Sailing class worldwide exclusively sponsored by Seiko Watch Corporation.
Since its first diving watch in 1965, Seiko has built watches to withstand the ocean. In 1975, SEIKO made the first diver's watch in the world to have a titanium case and suited to saturation and diving upto 600m underwater. The Velatura continues this tradition.
Velatura - Seiko's new marine watch collection will take its place alongside Premier and Sportura as one of Seiko's Elite Collection of watches.
Velatura promises to be the centerpiece of the Seiko campaign in 2007-2008. Seiko has designed Velatura for the needs of professional and recreational sailors alike.
Among the innovations in this collection are a new Yachting Timer, designed in consultation with leading sailors to give maximum precision for those who need to make every second count.
It has a pre-set race countdown timer that runs anticlockwise round the brightly coloured dial. It can be set to ten, six and five minutes before a race starts and when there are five seconds to go an alarm will sound. Ideal for those who find that a slow start costs them races.
