Cal mac Coll Challenge

Competitors took there marks on the beach this morning for the first leg of the tri-sport Coll Challenge. Pegged as the ‘most remote adventure race in the UK’, the challenge includes running 2 miles along the stunning Crossapol beach in Tiree, windsurfing from Crossapol around the coast to Gott Bay and then over to the neighbouring island of Coll, and then charging around the half marathon route around the forest on the island of Coll.

Competitors included Pro fleet windsurfers John Hibbard, Timo Mullen and Scotlands own Alan Jackson, from East Kilbride. Alan came second in the running leg and first in the first leg of the windsurfing. We sit eagerly awaiting the final results…

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!
