Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. (BTMI) has entered into a sponsorship partnership with Team Concise ahead of the Mount Gay Round the Island race this January.  The aim of the collaboration is to significantly increase the awareness of Barbados as a sailing destination, and attract more yachts to Barbados . 
Two of Team Concise's yachts have been branded "Ms. Barbados", for the coming winter season and they will fly the Barbados flag in international events. The two boats will make repeated runs around Barbados in January 2016 attempting to establish new world records for the fastest time around the island. This will be a visual feast of speed for visitors on the beaches as well as local Bajans' who have a passion for anything fast, on or off the water.
During the Mount Gay Regatta, there is a planned show down between Concise 10, and one of the local rally cars, which will race each other around the island. While Concise 10 surfs down Atlantic breakers off the East Coast of Barbados at speeds in excess of 40 knots, one of the islands top drivers will be pounding along the adjacent beaches, leaping sand dunes and tearing up dirt roads all to see who can "get round first".
While all of this is going on, a new challenge, "The Barbados Flying Mile" will be opened up to all. Local and visiting yachts will be able to time themselves over a measured mile between two marker buoys set just off the West Coast's glorious beaches. Captains can then post their elapsed times online and claim bragging rights if they are the fastest.
