New “Teeny” for the youngsters

Thanks to IPROTEX Münchberg, the sailing club Förmitz­speicher e.V. Hof is happy about a new boat for the youth department. On June 12, 2021, the boat chris­tening at the Förmitz­speicher took place in perfect weather. 

In the future, the youth training on the Förmitz­speicher can be expanded further. Thanks to Iprotex Münchberg, another teen boat was purchased. “It is very important to us to get involved in the region,” says Timo Piwonski, CEO of the Münchberg-based company. The contact to the sailing club came through technical director Henning Vocke, because his daughter is active at the sailing club Förmitz­speicher e.V. Hof. After some research on the Internet, a suitable boat was found in northern Germany and Timo Piwonski agreed to cover the costs for it. After a thorough prepa­ration of the boat, the solemn chris­tening of the boat took place on June 12, 2021. In compliance with the currently valid corona regula­tions, the teen was baptized by the two daughters of Henning Vocke, Johanna and Elisabeth, in front of the numerous guests of honor such as District Adminis­trator Oliver Bär and his deputy Annika Popp. Immediately after the chris­tening, the boat had its maiden voyage on the first regatta. 

The new Teeny is now on the move under the name “iprotex” on the Förmitz store. We wish the young sailors a lot of fun with their new boat, good wind and always a hand’s breadth of water under the keel!
