Panama City, Florida –May 11, 2005 – David Brian is in the jewelry business, and he knows the value of a precious gem the moment he sees it. To exemplify the beauty of the jewelry he sells, David incorporates the vision of an offshore powerboat in a spray of billions of sparkling diamonds as it races across emerald green water.

David spotted a really valuable gem on Florida’s Emerald Coast when he was approached to become a Sponsor of the Thunder on St. Andrews Bay offshore powerboat race. An avid supporter of offshore powerboat racing, David Brian Jewelers.com sponsors race teams to promote the jewelry and precious gems sold in his stores located in Key West and Virginia Beach. Previous success with sponsorship of an offshore race team prompted David to agree to become the Title Sponsor of the SBI/APBA Thunder on St. Andrews Bay race scheduled for May 21 & 22, 2005 at Panama City’s St. Andrews Marina.

The decision to become the Title Sponsor of a SBI/APBA offshore race can be attributed, in part, to the location of several of the sanctioning group’s races. With several races in David Brian Jewelers target markets, including the internationally recognized Key West World Championships in David’s hometown; David Brian Jewelers.com expects to capitalize on the Sponsorship through name recognition and increased sales at the company’s on-line store, www.davidbrianjewelers.com.

On the racecourse, look for the David Brian Jewelers.com SBI/APBA Superboat Super Vee race boat. The husband and wife team, Ken and Shannon Doyle, who throttle and drive respectively, will be campaigning the David Brian Jewelers.com twin engine vee bottom race boat in the offshore powerboat race in Marathon, Florida on May 14 & 15 and the following week at the Thunder on St. Andrews Bay races. The team will return to Marathon to race again on June 11 & 12, 2005.

According to David, “Shannon will be wearing the fastest diamonds on the water” when she competes in a sport that is predominately made up of men. One thing is for sure; David Brian Jewelers.com knows the value of a precious gem.

Ken,
The show in Panama City keeps getting bigger and bigger you are doing a great job and can't wait to be there. Ever team should take a close look at what you are doing for them and make it a point to make this race.The venue you have put together is huge and possible like nothing I've seen before other then the Worlds in Key west. All I can say is thank you for all your hard work...

I think the SCL boat's sponsorship days are numbered....... Might be related to their unwillingness to run SBI events?? I am not sure but I can only imagine that a Florida based business would want Florida exposure... Godd luck to the Super V!!!!

Exposure is good all over the country not just florida, many people Vacation in florida, people from all over. still might be good for business besides they are a title sponsor for OSS, all the boats have their name on them.
