Last Night Party

Last night saw the closing party for the 2005 Tiree Wave Classic.

The evening kicked off with Julian Da Vall presenting the individual discipline and overall prizes in each category (with over 70 podium places that’s quite a lot of prizes to give out), before finally presenting the outright winner John Skye with the 2005 Tiree Wave Classic Triple Crown.
Receiving his award Skye boy thanked the Wave Classic team for putting on the best event of the year, and vowed to come back next year to defend his winning run.

With the formalities out of the way the crowd was treated to not only the two advertised bands but a special guest appearance by “JC and the one man band” (aka our esteemed photographer John Carter - as he was playing he couldn’t take any photos of this so if anyone has a decent shot of JC email it to me info@tireewaveclassic.com and I’ll put it on the site)

Following JC on stage were an excellent Ceilidh band. Playing traditional Scottish tunes they soon had a good mix of competitors, crew and Tiree folk twirling across the dance floor (some a little more gracefully than others).

Before the crowd could catch their breath Tiree’s own rock band The Defenders took the stage. Playing two sets of the best guitar rock tunes from the sixties to the noughties they had everyone rocking into the early hours.

As promised there are a few (well actually a lot) of sore heads this morning, but hopefully some good memories of a truly classic Wave Classic.

Team 15 Success

Oct 15

The Tiree Team 15 Junior Racing Event was a great success at Loch Bhasapol on Wednesday 14th.

17 rounds of racing were completed with the junior racers prior to finally announcing the winners of the event.

A big thank you to everyone who came along on the day and contributed in some shape or form. Additionally a special thanks to George Shillito and Chris Murray from Tushingham/Starboard who were kind enough to come along with demo equipment from their sponsors. The boys also got in the water and completed the final race of the day with the kids prior to teaching the children how to perform some pretty sporty freestyle moves!

Overall the day turned out to be a great success, even with the light winds that we had over the course of the day. This is an event which we hope to grow for next year to involve more young windsurfers in racing and give them the opportunity to interact with the top stars in the sport. Watch this space for 2010!
