Mahwah, NJ (PRWEB) October 6, 2005 -- White Seahorse, Inc, creator of www.CoastalSailing.net, the highly informative online resource for the sailing community, announced today that Doyle Ploch Sailmakers of St. Petersburg, Florida and City Island, New York have struck an agreement for a founding sponsorship involving website-wide advertising.

Mark Ploch, renowned M&Ms sailor and owner of Doyle Ploch of St. Petersburg and City Island, remarked, "This was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to be in on the ground floor of what we think is an idea that fits an unmet need in the market – a resource for sailors, period: Not just racers, Not just cruisers, Sailors. We want to help get more people into sailing, as well as inspire those already sailing to get out there more than they have been. This is critical for our sport and we are glad to support this important mission."

"We are very pleased to have Doyle Ploch Sailmakers as our esteemed partners as we generate momentum for www.CoastalSailing.net and for the sailing community as a whole," said Alex Blackwell, Executive Vice President for Marketing & Sales. "We have had positive feedback from numerous sources already, among which are representatives of Seven Seas Cruising Association, US Sailing, and JSA. It's very exciting to welcome Doyle Ploch Sailmakers to our community."

In a unique arrangement, companies that advertise on www.CoastalSailing.net also receive a full webpage that can be customized and updated remotely by the advertiser at their discretion, and as often as they like. This is a valuable added benefit allowing each manufacturer to provide additional information beyond what fits in a banner, upload current promotions, and direct visitors to a primary website, all included in their banner advertising budget.

"We are preparing to embark on a targeted marketing and promotion campaign to tell the sailing community what we already have and what is in the works, so Doyle Ploch’s timing couldn’t be better," said Daria Blackwell, President. "Our editorial volume has been growing very rapidly, as has the interest in the resource. We know we are providing a particularly valuable service to sailors who are transitioning from day sailing to coastal sailing, whether cruising or racing. We look forward to helping our sponsors grow along with our sport!"
