MasterCraft, the official boat of the World Waterski and World Wakeboard Championships, announced today that it will be the exclusive tow boat for the 2011 Championships. At the London International Boat Show in 2009, MasterCraft signed an exclusive agreement with the IWWF to become the exclusive official tow boat of the World Championships, providing boats and on site support and logistics to the World Title events including the Open, Junior, Senior, Under 21, Wakeboard and Disabled World Championships in addition to the World Cup invitational series.
Vice President of International Business - Ian Birdsall - comments "Signing this agreement at a time when the industry as a whole is cutting back can only show the firm commitment that action our dedication to the support of the competitive side of our sport, even when others are turning their back on the individuals and organisations that have played a major role in the success of their business over the years. At MasterCraft we never forget our roots. In recent years we have been progressively diversifying into new markets, building a highly successful range of luxury powerboats and the remarkable MasterCraft 300 day yacht. However, a significant piece of our heart and soul will always drive us to build the best Waterski and Wakeboard boats money can buy. From the recreational family through to aspiring World Champions, there is a MasterCraft to suit every towed water sport enthusiast, so no matter what your boating activities involve there is no reason to ever settle for second best. In fact, we are excelling in every market segment we enter; and our long term investment to product development will result in our continuing to lead the way in innovation, efficiency, quality and performance. Something, we believe, no other brand in the industry can claim."
