Elkstone to Sponsor Irish Olympic Sailing NYC Member Finn Lynch on Road to Paris 2024
28-year-old NYC sailor becomes latest Brand Ambassador for the Irish Alternatives Investment Firm
Elkstone, Irelandâs leading alternatives investment firm, today announced a new partnership with Irish Olympic sailor Finn Lynch. The Irish athlete first represented Ireland at the 2016 Olympic Games, and he secured his place at the 2024 games after a bronze medal win at the European ILCA7 championships in Athens, Greece earlier this year.
The sponsorship will see Ekstone provide support for the 28-year-old sailor as he continues preparations for Paris 2024. In addition to backing Finn Lynchâs bid for a podium finish, as part of the deal Elkstone has committed to further helping the Carlow-native and National Yacht Club member achieve his goals beyond the summer games, which take place from July to August.
