Berthon Proudly Supports Olympic-Qualified Sailor Vita Heathcote
May 10th, 2024
Berthon is thrilled to announce its support for Olympic-qualified sailor Vita Heathcote as she prepares to compete in the first mixed crew 470 World Sailing Championship at the Paris Olympic Games, taking place from July 26th to August 11th, 2024.
Hailing from a sailing family in Lymington, Vita Heathcote’s affinity for the water has been ingrained in her since childhood. Inspired by the achievements of sailors like Sarah Webb and Sarah Ayton, who secured gold at the 2004 games, Vita set her sights on Olympic glory from a young age. It was a defining moment when she clinched gold at the 420 worlds and her coach affirmed her potential for Olympic success. Vita stated, “Going to the Olympics will be my greatest achievement yet,” and Berthon is honoured to stand by her side in this journey.
Vita’s connection to Berthon is deeply rooted, with familial ties to the Mays. Dominic, from Berthon, shared, “I’ve known Vita all her life! I am delighted to be part of her Olympic journey and will be rooting for her all the way.”
In the lead-up to and throughout the Olympics, Berthon will be closely following Vita’s journey and providing regular updates on her progress.
