SPONSORS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Much heart, soul and personal finance is going into this project. Costs have and still are being incurred - not only to cover vessel maintenance, but also for insurance, equipment, supplies and running the expedition office.

The expedition is increasingly arousing curiosity and international interest, especially now that the challenging Atlantic leg is underway. The expedition offers corporate sponsors brand exposure to those in academic, educative, historic, cultural and archaeological circles as well as those with maritime, adventure and nautical interests. Please get in touch if you would like a discussion. All financial donations (corporate or individual) are very much appreciated.

For individual monetary donations, please contact us or make a donation via Paypal.

The expedition is very grateful to the following organisations for their support:

Competition (now closed): When will Phoenicia reach the Caribbean?

As a bit of fun, we asked our followers and crew to predict when Phoenicia and crew would reach the Caribbean. The winners will share the prizes of Phoenicia’s Brass Barometer, a bottle of Carthaginian wine that has crossed the Atlantic, and a copy of ‘Sailing Close to the Wind’ signed by Phoenicia’s Atlantic Crew.

Our joint winners were Philippa Bignall and Teresa Petty. Both predicted 12:00, 23.12.19. The actual time Phoenicia crossed into Caribbean waters was 11:11 on the 23rd December. What great estimations!
