Ceilidh Composite Technologies has recently joined a growing group of suppliers to the Mini 650 campaign 'Micpoint'. The Mini 650 is the class of boat use for the Mini Transat, a solo transatlantic yacht race starting in France and finishing in Brazil. The boats are 6,50 metre long and 3 metres wide which are designed to be sailed solo or double handed. The race, which is seen as the ultimate challenge for the solo sailor, takes place biennially with the following race scheduled for 2013. Under leadership from the skipper Coen Pen and a group of passionate sailors who form the 'back office' www.zeilswitchnu.org has formulated a campaign for this challenge where the synergy between sponsors and suppliers paramount is. Ceildih is proud to be associated with the project as prefered spar supplier for this project. For further information www.zeilswitchnu.org (this link is not working at the moment 17-12-2012)

In a nailbiting final race Pieter Jan Postma finished first to secure a silver medal at the 2011 Finn Class World Championships. The event in Perth gave Pieter Jan (PJ) the chance to prove that he will be gold medal contender at the 2012 Olympic Games. With a scorecard including 5 first places PJ was unfortunate to use his discard in the first race of the series, but proved his strength under pressure by taking the all important final medal race to finish one point behind the current European Champion and new World Champion Giles Scott (GBR). We can also confirm 3 other results in the top 10 using the HIT carbon mast produced by Ceilidh Composite Technologies.
