Bailey Caravans has announced that it will be sponsoring the relatively new QSW windsurfing and mini racing teams, as they compete at events around the UK this summer.
The company will provide a Bailey Orion 530-6 caravan for use by the teams when they’re transporting equipment between events, and when they need temporary lodging.
The QSW team was started in 2007 by caravan dealer Neil Greentree, owner of Quayside Windsurfers, and has grown into the UK’s largest independent windsurfing team over the last five years.
Meanwhile, the QSW mini racing team was founded in 2011 when Jonathan Lewis joined the Greentree Group, because of Mr. Lewis’ extensive racing background, including teaching Richard Hammond how to drive a Formula 1 car during an episode of Top Gear.
The racing team managed one outright win and three other podium finishes in its five events last year, and will feature a Bailey sponsored car in this year’s team.
Bailey claims that the Orion caravan is the perfect choice, given its reputation of being aerodynamic, easy to drive, easy to park, and easy to store.
Both QSW teams have a full programme of events planned for this summer, including motorsports events at Brands Hatch and Silverstone, as well as windsurfing competitions in England and France.
