The two companies have enjoyed a long-standing partnership for more than two decades which is underpinned by RMA’s values of integrity, innovation and endurance.

“We are delighted to be participating in this prestigious and challenging regatta with the support of Ford in an ever increasing field of highly competitive international teams” said Peter Lawson, RMA’s Automotive Global Director.
