The Irish Sailing Team has welcomed a new Mercedes-Benz Vito van to its fleet of commercial vehicles, writes Trish Whelan.
The second of its kind to be added to the fleet, it will soon be put through its paces transporting the team’s boats and equipment to international training camps and competitions throughout Europe in destinations such as Portugal, Italy, and the Olympic sailing venue of Marseille.
Thanks to the support of Irish Sailing and the Irish Sailing Foundation, the new Vito 114 Style model arrived fully equipped with fixtures and fittings from CAFCO Vehicle Solutions and finished with sign writing by FISH Graphics.
Mercedes-Benz previously supported Ireland’s Olympic medal winning sailor, Annalise Murphy, in her preparations for the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games.
