A friend and business associate of mine, Jason Seibert, is going to be racing in the Bermuda One-Two yacht race. He asked if I wanted to sponsor a logo on the spinnaker (the big sail at the front of the yacht) at the cost of the sail, which is $3500. Initially I was going to put a MyMonero or PayB.ee logo on, but then I thought it would be more fun and impactful to put a Monero logo on, with GetMonero.org underneath.

I have already paid for this out of my own pocket, as it was my idea and the cost isn't excessive, but I'm opening this FFS so that anyone who wants to chip in to the cost can do so. Over and above the logo being seen by fellow sailors and spectators, it will also (hopefully) end up in a few videos and on TV.

For those that are not familiar with my views on "marketing": I do not believe that a cryptocurrency needs a "marketing department", or a "marketing budget", or a "head of marketing", or anything like that. I do believe that raising awareness is, in general, a positive thing, and I also believe that awareness-raising efforts should be sponsored by companies, individuals, or crowd-funded (as opposed to any sort of centralised funding mechanism that provides an attacker with a mechanism to shut things down).
