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.
