Recognition for the work we have been doing
Sharing is embarrassing and even seems boastful when you have been recognized for something. I don’t want to do this to pound on our chest or show off. I do, however, feel good that we have been recognized now for two years for the benefits of the Blog, Videos, and community that has been built around the sailing and boating topics. Last year, we were recognized by LuxLife for winning the category of Leading Providers of Sailing & Maintenance Education / Support 2022 from “LuxLife Nautical Tourism” (See the listing and recognition here).
This year, SVDreamChaser Blog and Youtube Channel have been recognized for 3 times as many awards and from 3 different organizations that review these kind of blogs and media outlets. This is really exciting for us.

Corporate LiveWire – Sailing and Cruising Blog of the Year
| Hi Gil, It was a pleasure speaking with you today and to be the bearer of great news! As explained, we had shortlisted S/V Dream Chaser in this year’s Global Awards Program for the category Sailing & Cruising Blog of the Year, and you have been selected as our 2023/24 winner! Congratulations again, Gil. I hope the recognition will be helpful. I have attached the prepared winner’s logo, which supports the award. We recommend for all winners co-ordinate their own announcements alongside ours, as you can then link the achievement back to the magazine, details on the judging process, and other awards information. Hopefully, I gave a good overview of the awards. Nevertheless, I will summarise all below and include the details of what happens next; Each year, we invite both readers and contributors to the Corporate Livewire publications to put forward companies, products, services, and individuals who they feel are deserving of recognition. We ask each nominee to submit supporting information for their chosen category, and our panel of judges ultimately pick a winner in each area. All our winners will be highlighted in the annual 2023/24 Global Awards publication, and we will be promoting all of those recognised. The publication will be available in print and digital formats and will be full of interviews, features, and industry insights, as well as full details on this year’s winners. This year’s business publication will be available to all Corporate Livewire subscribers. Subscriptions are available directly from our Corporate Livewire website, and printed copies are distributed to a large number of business professionals & homeowners, plus to a large selection of corporate events as well as major airport lounges, universities, and other prime landmarks. Yourself & the team have certainly dedicated a lot of time and effort to be recognised on such a magnitude therefore we are pleased that things have been going well for the business during the present year. Congratulations again Gil! Scott Reeves Account Manager – Global Awards |
