Since many years the IFDCO developed a "FD Shop" with the aim to provide the members with technical supports ( Hi-Tech Plans and Specifications, mylar plan with templates, sail buttons ) , and objects to promote the image of the Class (FD half model, flag, scarf, tie, badge, key-ring, FD sticker, car sticker, FD Class Book, etc).
Moreover, a DVD collection of movies and Photos, taken during several Championships, are available to show performance, technical aspects and trimming of the FD.
Finally, since 2005, IFDCO and HARKEN Sailing Wear Company undersigned a sponsorship agreement; so, the FD shop have been improved with a fashion collection.
The HARKEN Sailing Wear, became official supplier of IFDCO and performed a sportwear collection with the IFDCO Logo.
On last month, ago, I went to the HARKEN - WINCH headquarters : there, IFDCO and WINCH confirmed their reciprocal interest to their brands ; so, we agreed to go on with a new sponsorship agreement until end 2012 .
Now, WINCH is developing the next fall-winter and spring - summer collections 2008-2009 ; so, besides the actual HARKEN Sailing Wear, WINCH will add further fashion collections inspired to the FD history and emotion, and showing the FD Logo.
Those clothes, reporting both the HARKEN - WINCH and the IFDCO Logos will be available for each FD Class member with a special discount.
In detail, the actual HARKEN Crew Collection will be always available with several clothes (jackets, polos, gilets, t-shirts etc.) in several colours and sizes;
As always, will be possible to look the HARKEN Sportswear Collections with the FD Logo on the IFDCO Website and in the FD Bulletin .
Moreover, there will be a link between the IFDCO and the HARKEN - WINCH Websites.
Together with a lot of enthusiast sailors who granted the worldwide success of the FD Class, HARKEN will do being inspired by the most peculiar feature of the FD Class: to be in the van with high-tech and innovative solutions.
For the same reason, IFDCO chose HARKEN Sailing Wear, as brand to perform the sportwear for the FD teams.
IFDCO, selling to the Class members the sportwear and objects presented in the FD Shop, will collect money to spend for the Class promotion, advertisement and sport activities; for instance, will be very important to help the young and new FD sailors, increase the participation to specific events and support the Transport of the boats to attend to World Championships overseas.
