Icom UK is once again proud of its continual support as Official Suppliers of Radio Communication Equipment to Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week. Icom's sponsorship provides the event organisers, Cowes Week Limited (CWL) with a mixture of marine and commercial radio transceivers to help the officials in marshalling race activity.
The equipment supplied by Icom is used to provide communication between the race officers to co-ordinate race starts, set courses and marshal the competitors. The radios are also used for communicating with other vessels (including commercial shipping and ferries) and the coastguard.
Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager of Icom UK said "We have been involved with Cowes Week for thirteen years and we are really proud to have such a strong relationship with this prestigious event. There has already been some fantastic racing this week. We just want to wish all the competitors the best of luck".

About Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week
Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week is a key part of the British sporting calendar taking place in early August each year. These dates result from early traditions when the great and the good came to Cowes between Goodwood and the Glorious Twelfth – day one of the grouse shooting season. The event is a great mix of competitive sailing and a vibrant social scene and has evolved enormously since the early days; it now attracts up to 1,000 competing boats, around 8,500 competitors and at least 100,000 visitors.
