TWO MORE SPONSORS SIGN ON FOR TIREE WAVE CLASSIC

Skykon and Strathclyde Fire and Rescue have been confirmed as sponsors for this year’s Tiree Wave Classic.

Jesper Øhlenschlæger, CEO of Skykon, commented:
“Skykon is delighted to sponsor the Tiree Wave Classic which has great synergy with our company. Skykon is a supplier of tower solutions and wind technology components to the wind power industry, hence wind is our main business. We look forward to being associated with this fantastic event.”

Gordon Ritchie, Director of GMFCo, said:
“It is great to see an international company involved in wind power with Scottish roots. Skykon really know the wind power market and have so much synergy with The Tiree Wave Classic. StrathClyde Fire and Rescue serve the communities of Coll and Tiree and we have first hand knowledge of how good these guys are when the Tiree Lodge hotel had a fire in the kitchen when we were running the competition. This was dealt with within minutes. That’s when you really appreciate dealing with a professional team like StrathClyde Fire and Rescue.”

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!
