WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OFFICIAL TOW-BOAT AGREEMENT WITH MasterCraft

London Boat Show Celebrations

Even heavy snow, airline cancellations and storms could not stop the teams from MasterCraft and the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF) from meeting at the London Boat Show last weekend ! With some serious business to conclude, Kuno Ritschard IWWF signed the formal TOW BOAT Agreement with MasterCraft’s Ian Birdsall, VP International Sales,  and Will Furze, International Marketing Manager.  This major six-year official towboat agreement will cover the World Championships for Tournament, and Disabled Waterskiing, Wakeboard and the Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup series. MasterCraft have provided the official tow boat for all 29 World Cup Stops to date.

The experience gained with MasterCraft over the past six years in developing the Waterski & Wakeboard World Cup series has greatly helped in the expansion of new markets around the world for both the sport and MasterCraft. This expertise will also play a crucial role in the management of future World Championships events.
