Point Loma Outfitting Brings Live Melges 24 Racing Coverage To Web

Oct. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Point Loma Outfitting today announced its role as exclusive apparel provider for the On-The-Water Anarchy coverage team for their live, streaming video coverage of next week's 2009 Melges 24 World Championship from Annapolis, Maryland.

"We're proud to outfit the hard working folks behind On-The-Water Anarchy's innovative sailing coverage as they work to bring the excitement of racing to more people every year," said Tom Carruthers, President of Point Loma Outfitting. "Their job requires serious demands on apparel in every kind of weather, all over the globe, and their continued reliance on Point Loma Outfitting for their apparel needs says a lot about the quality of gear we supply."  

In its fourth year of operation, On-The-Water Anarchy (http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showforum=25) has become the go-to provider for low-cost, high-quality broadcasts of sailing's greatest events.  Their coverage of the Melges 24 World Championships will be their most comprehensive yet, and includes live, streaming video of the entire regatta, as well as daily HD highlight reels, professional photographs posted minutes after shooting, live talk shows, and dozens of interviews with the top sailors in the sport. "The racers finish their work by 4 or 5 in the afternoon, while our team of videographers, photographers, editors, and writers continues to work into the early morning hours," says Executive Producer Alan Block.  "That work day puts us in constantly varying conditions of weather and temperature, from crashing waves on a RIB to the heated cabin aboard our mother ship to bone-chilling wind in the tuna tower aboard our video boat - and the Atlantis Weather Gear we get from Point Loma is versatile enough to handle it all." http://www.pointlomaoutfitting.com/on_the_water_anarchy.php

Foul weather isn't the only demand the On-The-Water Anarchy team makes on its apparel suppliers.  "As part of the world-famous Sailing Anarchy site, our team gear needs to be as hip as SA is," explains Meredith Block, Director of Photography. "Tom and the folks at Point Loma Outfitting continually surprise us with good-looking, functional, and edgy clothing for our entire crew, with great logo designs and printing and embroidery that seems to last forever."
