Dear Media Representative:

Terra Nova Trading Key West 2003 is shaping up to be another premier event in the world of sailboat racing. Entries and class projections are strong and point to another 300+ boat fleet. Last year's near record fleet of 321 boats from around the world and across the United States provided great competition on the water and great stories and visuals for all. 

We are very pleased that Rich Roberts is once again heading up our media center and program.

Whether you will be on site, or are covering the event from your home base, we hope you will register in advance and update our records. You may register by complete and return a form.

Finally, WE LOVE CLIPPINGS AND WEB SITE TIPS! As you know, media coverage greatly enhances the exposure and the value of the event for participants, sponsors, and all interested parties. Premiere Racing would very much appreciate your including us in your distribution - whether it is in print or in cyberspace. Any photograph or mention of Terra Nova Trading Key West 2003 is of great interest to us. Thank you in advance for sending us either the actual publications or notification for our follow-up.

Rich Roberts, Press Officer

    Please let us know if you have any questions. 

    We look forward to receiving your registration, updates and information.
