I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you: dynamic, hard working, inspirational and always conscious of my needs. Working with your team has reminded me how much I have missed working with a cutting edge design element.

Our philosophy is simple:we produce cost effective and viable graphic design solutions, and we do this by maintaining the principle that any design solution is driven by an understanding of the brief.

MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONBRAND GUIDELINES

October 2009Version 1.0

BRAND GUIDELINES

09

To retain a strong brand it is essential that the logo be used consistently and correctly. The logo must never be distorted. It should be positioned in line with the body text at all times and in keeping with the page grid. (see page layout 2.2) It should never overprint a photographic or patterned background and become illegible. It should never be used as one colour on a coloured background that diminishes clearness. It should never be rotated, re-cropped, used with a keyline or repositioned inside its solid rectangular box.

1.6 The brand mark: Used incorrectly

BRAND GUIDELINES

10

The consistent use of the two corporate colours act as a positivereinforcement of our identity. The primary colour palette of grey and purple have been chosen to work in harmony and should be predominately used in all of our communications to provide instant identification; these colours are complemented by tints, black and grey as required. Discretion should be applied as the overuse of tints might reduce the impact of the communication. Print and web specifications are given.

Volvo Ocean Race

The world’s premier ocean race and one of the few truly global sporting events, taking place over four different continents involving multi-national and multi-cultural teams

MARKETING MATERIALS : ADVERTISING : MAGAZINE : MEDIA GUIDE : EXHIBITION & DISPLAY

Golden oldies and glittering

newcomers will be heading

for Volvo’s new home on

the Mediterranean coast

in the autumn of 2011 in a

joint search for reform and continuity if Knut

Frostad has his way.

The Norwegian is charged with not just

picking his way through the economic

minefield which has made progress in every

walk of life more difficult over the last 18

months, but reshaping an event that is in the

top four in the world of sailboat racing in such

a way that it does not just maintain stability,

but reinforces its place as a competition of

choice for the top competitors worldwide.

This aspirational quality is, he feels, one

of the essential elements in attracting all the

other partnerships that make up a modern,

international sports event. Its heritage is also

right up there on the list of values he wants to

put at the centre of the thinking and planning

that has been going on ever since the last

race was making its way round the world.

“The whole heritage of the race is an

important story, it is something that has many

angles,” says Frostad, flagging up what will be

a major part of the way the new organisation

will be structured. Just because the race has

moved its headquarters to Spain does not

mean that all that has gone before will be left

behind.

“One thing everyone should know is that

we moved to Spain for strategic and even

financial reasons. The Volvo is a complex

event to run, not least because of all the

stopovers around the world, whereas all the

other major events are based in one place,

even if their races go round the world,” he

explains.

One of the calculations, apart from it not

being ideal to be based in a place where

there was no race, was that the whole team

can now stay in its home base and delay

travelling for three months. Having up to 80

people on the road for three months can be a

costly business.

By moving the race headquarters to

the start port, a strategy which led to the

establishment of the race office close to

Southampton when the race started from

there, the whole organisation is in place for

setting up the start and does not have to

leave until just days ahead of the fleet’s arrival

in the first stopover.

And, having decided on a new home, the

question was how to enhance that home,

and from that came the museum and the

interactive exhibition. “The race has so much

to offer and so much history and that must

not be lost,” says Frostad. “That heritage is

extremely important, so the museum part is

perhaps at least 50 per cent of this project.

“One idea we have is to do a vintage race

a few weeks before the start in 2011. We

would invite every person who has crewed in

a Whitbread/Volvo Race and as many of the

boats as possible which have ever taken part.

You would be surprised just how many there

are and, what’s more, in good condition. I

think that would be a fantastic thing to do.”

This is what would be a showcase

But the UK link would

mainland and the Isle of Wight,

again. The bottom line says there is no

question of cutting the origins of the race

out of the new fabric.

The global aspect of what is a global

event is also re-inforced by Frostad’s

determination to see the best skippers and

the best crews being convinced that a Volvo

campaign is an essential part of their CVs. It

is also possible that, in the cyclical nature of

things, fully crewed racing may be ready to

take centre stage again in France and Italy

and that the stronger yacht racing ethos at

the centre of the Volvo race management

may also signal encouraging new

direction.

“There were some barriers, some

walls we needed to break down,”

says Frostad. “For me Italy and

France are very important,

it is where, alongside New

Zealand, there is the most

other areas of

the sport have

is an important barrier

also to be broken

down there.”

Perhaps 15 years of

management thinking has

been re-examined and re-worked and the

new core message is that the Volvo should be

for the best sailors in the world and that the

international clash between the world’s best

should be what attracts a bigger audience

using what is still developing technology.

Combine this with also insisting that at

least three of the crew should be under 30

and the future of the race is decisively in the

hands of sailors at a time when the America’s

Cup is in disarray. At the same time there is

a determination to offer an opportunity for

the racing life of the boats to be extended

beyond one race and broadened into events

between races.

That should keep the sailors gainfully

employed and the sponsorship

and marketing offices of the

companies behind the teams

even busier. It should

also keep the offices in

Alicante buzzing.

the beginning, you’re trying to wear a lot of hats, working hard to concentrate on what is important at that particular time, being smart enough to put some very talented people in positions in which they could excel, yet trying to keep a watchful eye. I love what I do.

I have worked in the marine industry since I graduated from university, which has given me a unique view of our sport through the eyes a professional sailor, a businessman, a salesman, a father and a husband. It is a tough balancing act sometimes, but when it all comes together, all the years of work are so worthwhile I can’t even describe it. And it did come together.

I have stated many times that I can’t ever remember being proud of a second place, but in this particular case second place was a great accomplishment. I have to tell you, there were plenty of times where I questioned a lot of what we were doing right down to its simplest form. ‘How the hell did I get myself into this?’ I may have muttered on more than a few occasions. But, like all great things, the memory is quick to erase the negative and reinforce the positive. I now say to all who want to hear, I just lived the best year of my life, especially with regards to my sailing career. There are a lot of people that made it happen.

The important thing to establish at the beginning of a programme like this is that it is simply a start-up small business meant to market a product. You have a pot of money to spend. You create budgets. You hire people. You put together time lines, and you remain flexible. On the hiring side, the first person in was clearly the most important. Even though he’s probably only been sailing 15 days in the entire two years of PUMA Ocean Racing, Kimo Worthington was a tireless worker, who quickly became a very loyal friend and business partner.

I have been extremely lucky in my business life to have two great business partners.

The first, in my early business years, was Dan Neri who currently runs the 3DL plant for North Sails in Minden, Nevada. Kimo had some big shoes to fill. As one of a handful on our team, who had actually won this race before (EF Language), he had the experience first-hand on what he believed it would take to win. He also had the experience in the role he was thrust into, general manager for PUMA Ocean Racing. Kimo became the onshore glue that kept the travelling circus together.

During the courtship stage between PUMA and me, bringing Kimo onboard was the final step towards convincing PUMA that sailing and the Volvo Ocean Race was a viable marketing tool. He brought in real budget analysis and not just guesswork from the last campaign as general manager of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean team. I think the

PUMA leadership saw that the numbers were real and that we had a good idea of what this programme would be spending, and that we had a plan. The group fitted together immediately, and most importantly, the PUMA management group led by Jochen Zeitz and Antonio Bertone, and Kimo and I, became fast friends, trusting friends, who to this day are on the same page with regard to this programme and its hopeful future.

The next critical step was the ‘buy in’ of the team as to the goals of the programme. This is something we worked really hard at. From day one, I made it clear that we were all part of a travelling circus that was created in order to bring value to our sponsor. Period. That can come in many ways and in fact we broke it down both verbally and in a poster that we made and was put up in every single container, workshop and office that we occupied all the way around the world.

1. Everyone that starts the race in our

programme is present and accounted for

when we finish the race in Russia.

Safety is the number one concern. Selfishly, I could not even fathom having to make the ’phone call if there had been tragedy. In my mind, this was not an option. History has proven that, in this race, the dangers are real. We couldn’t let it happen. I think this created a team-wide environment that being safe by simply wearing harnesses or, for example, using the right crane to lift the boat, was a fundamental part of

kenny readBEING ASKED TO WRITE ABOUT MY VOLVO EXPERIENCE IS NEARLY

IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT TAKING UP ABOUT 500 PAGES. BUT, LIKE ALL STORIES,

THIS ONE HAS A BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND AN END. OR MAYBE NOT AN END,

NOT YET ANYWAY. I’LL GET BACK TO THAT IN A BIT.

The British IslesWith Tenacious away from home and Lord Nelson chartered by Girlguiding UK between June and September, UK voyages are bound to be more in demand than ever. If you don’t fancy heading abroad, there is plenty to do right on your doorstep. When you book a UK voyage with Jubilee Sailing Trust, you’re sure to see a very different side to Great Britain.

Many of the most beautiful views of the British Isles can be found at sea, so a voyage around the UK is the perfect opportunity to see it from a different perspective. With a couple of Day Sails and a few longer

voyages, there’s something for everybody. Whether you’ve sailed with Jubilee Sailing Trust 100 times or this is the first time you’ve considered it, a voyage on one of our ships will keep travelling costs low while providing you with some unforgettable highs.

NB: Sailing with JST is a fantastic activity when its wet weather, but even more enjoyable when it’s dry. All of our voyages are weather dependent, whether in the UK or abroad.

Lord Nelson's VoyagesYou can meet Lord Nelson in the bustling city of Glasgow when she returns from her Girlguiding UK charter. Having undergone a progressive transformation in recent years, there is now even more to see and do in Glasgow itself. You can get two great benefits for the price of one, tying in some sight-seeing with the start of your voyage.

Once you’ve seen it from land you can get an entirely different view of Scotland from the sea. There are many areas that remain almost untouched and on a day sail down the Clyde from Glasgow to Greenock you’ll get the chance to see city, town and countryside.

The route from Greenock to Cardiff (LN 755) offers you the chance for some brilliant sailing, travelling almost the length of the UK with the potential to enjoy some outstanding locations ashore. Starting in Scotland, you could then visit Ireland, where you can soak up the local hospitality or even the independent Isle of Man before you arrive in Cardiff.

LN756 will give you the exciting chance to sail around Land’s End peninsular and enjoy an area that is rich in folk legend. You will see Ralph’s Cupboard, now a gorge, but once a cave said to be a giant’s home or sail by the lost city of Lyonnesse, the peaks of which are said to form the Isles of Scilly. You may also get the chance to stop off in Falmouth or even the Channel Islands on the way.

Happy Anniversary Tenacious!Jubilee Sailing Trust will celebrate her birthday in style, so keep an eye out on our website for updates on how we plan to celebrate her 10th birthday.

Girlguiding UK (GGUK) have chartered Lord Nelson for 100 days as one of 100 activities that they have arranged to celebrate their centenary year.

The charter will see Lord Nelson travel around the whole of the UK over the course of 100 days. This will be broken into 10 individual voyages, each with a different crew of GGUK Senior Section members. Starting the tour in Glasgow on Monday 7th June 2010, Lord Nelson will travel to Oban, around the North Coast of Scotland and then around the rest of the UK mainland until she arrives back in Glasgow on Friday 17th September.

At every destination port, Lord Nelson will take a new crew from the Senior Section of the Guides, ensuring that everybody who wants to try tall ship sailing gets the chance to take part. Ports along the way include Newcastle, London, Portsmouth, Falmouth and Milford Haven, so Senior Section members from across the UK shouldn’t have too far to travel no matter where they are based.

If you are in the Senior Section of GGUK, or you know somebody who is, and you would like more information on the Girlguiding UK centenary voyages please go to the Senior Section of the GGUK Centenary website (www.girlguiding100years.org.uk) or email [email protected]
