McWilliam Bags Announced as Official Supplier to Irish Sailing
Irish Sailing and McWilliam Bags have today announced a partnership that will see McWilliam, a leading provider of high-quality bags, as the official kit bag supplier for the Irish Sailing Team in the upcoming season. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for Irish firm McWilliam, enhancing its commitment to supporting Irish athletes and promoting excellence in the sport of sailing.
The Irish Sailing team includes Paris-bound Olympians and World Champion sailors Finn Lynch, Robert Dickson, Sean Waddilove and Eve McMahon.
Each iconic, stylish and durable McWilliam bag is handmade, to the same exacting standards, near Crosshaven, Co. Cork. The brand is deeply aligned with sailing, having its roots in sailmaking and this will be the first time McWilliam is sponsoring its national team, a major milestone as the brand continues its rapid growth trajectory in the sports and leisure market.
James O’Callaghan, Director of High Performance at Irish Sailing said, “McWilliam Bags are a fine example of homegrown ambition driving success. We look forward to working closely with their team over the long term as they share our journey.”
McWilliam bags are known as an essential piece of kit that’s earned its reputation by living up to its promise in the most challenging of conditions – the sea.
“We are thrilled to be chosen as the official bag supplier for the Irish Sailing Team,” said Claire Morgan, Director at McWilliam Bags. “As an Irish brand, it is an honour to provide them with the best possible gear as they represent our country on the global stage. We are proud to play a part in their voyage towards excellence.”
With its rich history in sailing, and sailmaking in particular, Irish Sailing athletes can take comfort that that their gear will be in the best possible hands. Any journey worth taking is worth taking with a McWilliam bag. The sponsorship will continue throughout 2024 culminating in the Irish Sailing Awards.
