Marina signs up for America's Cup

A MARINA operator has been announced as the official UK marina engagement partner for the Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series.

MDL Marinas will exhibit at the event in Portsmouth from July 22 until July 24.

As part of this new partnership, MDL Marinas’ annual berth holders and cruising club members will be offered preferential tickets to the Race Village in Southsea.

Dean Smith, operations and marketing director at MDL Marinas, said: ‘We are delighted to become an engagement partner for the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Portsmouth.

‘This exciting partnership will enable us to offer our valued customers preferential tickets to what promises to be an epic event, both on the water and on shore.

‘Last year, MDL Marinas became the official UK Marina Partner for the British contender, Land Rover BAR. This new partnership further cements our involvement in this historical event.’

The event is expected to attract 50,000 visitors across three days.
