Conrad Humphreys is delighted to announce the support of Motorola who are backing him in his efforts to win the 2002 Route du Rhum.

Dave Floyd, Director of Motorola's Office of Leadership for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), who is co-ordinating Motorola's involvement said, "we are delighted to support Conrad Humphreys, winner of the BT Global Challenge in 2001, in his latest race.

Conrad has been involved in leadership development for our management team in EMEA and we share his passion for winning. All of us at Motorola wish Conrad good luck for the race."

Conrad's chartered Open 40, racing in Class 3 (formerly 'Syllogic'), is being re-named "HELLOMOTO" on Friday 8th November and Conrad will break open a bottle of bubbly over the little ship which has become the talk of the basin.

The re-launch ceremony for friends, sponsors and media will take place at approx. 1430 on Friday.
