The student sailing team of IE University in Segovia. We train crews, we race in the Mediterranean, and we carry our university colours on the water.
The brands and companies that backed our first seasons. Some supported us financially, others equipped us, and all of them made the project possible.
SegoSPI brings together students of IE University in Segovia around a shared passion: sailing. Founded in 2024, the association trains its crews, organises sailing weekends, and enters the university into the Challenge SPI Dauphine, which brings together close to a thousand students from across Europe.
Our members come from dozens of countries, and many discover sailing with us. That is part of the project: making this sport accessible to students who would never otherwise have stepped on a boat.
We train on the waters around Segovia, we prepare navigation, safety and tactics, and we fund every season collectively.
Every year the Challenge SPI Dauphine gathers close to a thousand students from universities and business schools across Europe, racing in about forty crews. The regatta takes place under the authority of the Yacht Club de France, in the Mediterranean.
The boats are identical. What makes the difference is preparation, crew cohesion and how well you read the water. Our goal for 2027 is a better prepared team and a result that matches our members' commitment.

Real visibility for our partners, from the deck to the university network
We are looking for partners to fund the 2027 season: entry fee, boat rental, transport, accommodation, safety and equipment.
Every contribution matters, and everyone gives what they wish. The more substantial your support, the more space your brand takes: on the sail, on the boat, on our kit, in our communications and at our events.
We are glad to receive products instead of a financial donation: equipment we can use during our sailing weekends, or products we serve at our fundraising evenings and use for our raffles.
We are an association registered in France. The tax benefit therefore depends on the country where you pay tax, and it is not always straightforward to obtain across borders. Here is what we can honestly say, without promising more than reality.
Tax receipt (Cerfa 11580) issued by the association, which reports its donations to the tax authority.
So we do not promise that relief. Depending on your situation it can go through a Spanish partner: let us talk.
Sponsorship is therefore the realistic route for a UK company.
It takes time and is never guaranteed. Write to us before committing.
This summary is given in good faith for an association registered in France. It is not tax advice: your finance team remains the judge.
Your donation directly funds the 2027 season: the entry fee, the logistics and the equipment that get our crew to the starting line.
