Nationwide Assistance Group VHF Marine Radio Donation to Thundercat Racing

Nationwide Assistance Group has donated six Icom IC-M23 Marine VHF radios to ThunderCat Racing UK. The Icom radios will be primarily used by the offshore racing event for its safety crew and marshals.

ThunderCat Racing is a one of the world's most exhilarating water sports, featuring 4 metre inflatable catamarans fitted with a 2 stroke 50 hp motors. Racing just offshore, it is not just a spectacle for the competitors but one of the most accessible water based sports for spectators.

Mike Kenny from Nationwide Assistance Group said, ‘As major sponsors to ThunderCat Racing, we donated the radios primarily to assist with the safety of the competitors…it’s the business we are.’

Fiona Pascoe, Director of ThunderCat Racing said, ‘I would like to thank Nationwide Assistance Group for their generous donation. Communication on water needs to be clear, precise and the clarity is paramount. If we don’t have that quality of communication, you just don’t have that level of safety.’
