Yes, and I think that's great -- everybody ought to sell advertising on their boats/sails, or at least advertise their own company or business. I can't see the connection between advertising on boats/sails and professionalism of the sailors themselves.

We have put our company name on our sails, but the stickers keep coming off. Bummer. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Our Wave fleet up at Put-in-Bay is seriously talking about each of us getting a sponsor from one of the town businesses to advertise on our sails. We race right there in front of the waterfront restaurants, or in front of the Monument, twice a week, in full view of the tourists. We figure employees of the advertised businesses will be rooting for their "team" boat -- and maybe there will even be some betting going on. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It will certainly draw more attention to and interest in the sailing. And that can only be good. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What's the difference between that and the town's softball leagues, with each team being sponsored by a different business and having the company name on their shirts?
