Mr Aoki and Ashley Daff - Frankston Yacht Club Season Opening Steven Cooke
Icom Australia has donated valuable communications equipment to the Frankston Yacht Club. In the club’s Annual Opening Ceremony, Commodore Ashley Daff recognised Icom’s contribution, and thanked Managing Director of Icom Australia, Mr Takashi Aoki, by naming the ‘Aoki san’.
The event was a great success for the Frankston Yacht club, with local politicians and Cr Christine Richards, Mayor of Frankston, joining in the event. Cr Richards was also very appreciative of the donation by Icom, and personally thanked Mr Aoki for his kind gesture.
The donation will go a long way in supporting the club, and will help to ensure the safety of its members. Clear communication between the rescue boats and observation tower is vital, as a quick response to any incident is very important while on the water. During his opening speech, Mr. Daff noted the importance of communications equipment at the club. With Icom being a world leader in marine communications equipment, Mr. Daff was delighted to receive the donation, and stated in his speech that ‘Icom equipment is some of the best available’.
Icom Australia would like to thank the Frankston Yacht Club for recognising the contribution, and hopes that the 2010/2011 season is a fantastic and safe one for the club.
