Question and Answers:
What is the objective?
To expose the DASH brand to Sydney Harbor yacht race participants, spectators, and tourists over a 5 year period – and to give Masternode Owners an amazing opportunity whenever they’re in Sydney!

The boat is docked as Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in the heart of Sydney, Australia. The CYCA owns, and is host of the prestigious Sydney-Hobart race.
Who is the skipper / owner of the boat?
My name is David Mason, I have competed the famed Sydney-Hobart race multiple times and have won numerous sailing trophies including the renowned Australian Bluewater Championship. I am also a professional Master 5 ship’s captain and he’s a Royal Yachting Association Yachtmaster Instructor.
For my ‘day job’ David I am an award winning TV executive and entrepreneur who, amongst other things, I instrumental in winning Sydney’s bid for to host the 2000 Olympic Games.

Digital Cash might do something..
So sorry but no from me.
we will have literature onboard for those quests who are curious.
Link to Categorized and Prioritized List of Proposals here: https://goo.gl/qu2JsP
Yes I do guarantee that you will be advertising for 5 years (at least). Most likely the mainsail (with dash logo) will last for 10 years.
Thnx.
I think you have to improve the proposal.
That your yacht has Dash advertising, is a difficult means of doing an ROI. (Passive ROI)
Your answer to our colleague. Narroway:
Re: overall marketing strategy - I must admit - I don't know the answer to that.
I have some ideas.
You request 5 years, we request improvement of the proposal.
For example:
1)
You say:
David I am an award winning TV executive and entrepreneur who, among other things, I instrumental in winning Sydney's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games.
I say:
David, in the proposal you must contribute your synergies with this market (TV executive), make us an improvement of the proposal including this ability of yours, a commitment to your facet of TV executive. (Active ROI)
2)
You say:
The yacht has been so successful for airbnb that it is in fact airbnb's
I say:
David, in the proposal you must provide us with your customers Airbnb (Acitve ROI).
You must indicate during those 5 years that you accept Dash (Digital Cash) and with a small discount, visible in the advertisement of Airbnb (Dash is like Bitcoin but better, an example).
As well as the commitment to explain to your customers what Dash is and provide them with all the information
David, we're 'negotiating' your proposal. We would love to do business with you.
I invite all MNOs to David to improve his proposal with the negotiation.
David, I'm going to vote that not, until the next improvement of the proposal.
1 - The members of the sailing club where I race are influential people who span many industries. All of these people will be exposed to the dash brand for at least 5 years and will be potential investors.
2. There is a link in the proposal which you can click on and see all the reviews from people who have stayed on the boat.
I would love to accept dash for Airbnb booking, however this Airbnb do not permit payments outside their platform (maybe they will accept dash someday).
Yes, I can certainly provide dash literature on the boat for people who are curious about the sponsor. I believe there is content on the dash website that I can print out.
Thanks for your feedback.
David.
In the thread you show examples of racing yachts sponsored by UBS, Paypal and Land Rover to suggest dash can be in this kind of company.
But does your yacht compare to those? Do you have a record or winning major races?
Thanks for your support.
yes I have won the pretigious Australian Bluewater Championship. http://www.cyca.com.au/news/racing/2006/04/2005-2006-tasman-pointscore-to-pretty-fly-ii/
Re: boat size. Yes, 2 of the boats pictured in the thread are bigger and they race in divisions above Europa. However, advertising for these boats costs a lot more. In addition they are not as active as Europa as I also charter the boat for Airbnb guests.
For clarity I have added two pics of my boat in the forum thread that were taken in last Sunday's race so you can get a better appreciation of the size.

The money requested here should instead be deployed in online advertisements, specifically targeted to people searching for investment and cryptocurrency information.
People don't watch boat races because they're looking for new investment advice. Hence, the audience is wrong, and the approach will lose us money.
now what you are talking about ( google ads etc ) gives short term quick results but we also need to spend some money on long term adverting return type of stuff
