Tiree Wave Classic 2006

The Tiree Wave Classic is over for another year.

This year’s competition, although affected by unseasonably light winds, saw some outstanding Wave Sailing at the Maze on the first day. On the strength of his performance that day Jamie Hancock has been crowned a worthy winner of the Tiree Wave Classic 2006 Pro Men’s Wave Sailing Competition, with Ruth Elliot winning the Ladies title.

The light conditions gave competitors and visitors alike the chance to experience the high-adrenalin water sports of the Wave Classic Event Village as well as the full on fun provided by event sponsors Corona Extra.

David Williams, chief executive of EventScotland, speaking at the event closing party congratulated all involved in the Tiree Wave Classic 2006 and committed to helping Tiree Wave Classic on to even bigger and better things in 2007.

Winner: Jamie Hancock

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!
