Zhik team sailor Jack Wetherell wins the Laser Inlands

by Simon Payne, Zhik 15 Nov 2011 11:25 GMT 12-13 November 2011

New Zhik Team sailor Jack Wetherell defended his title on the only day of sailing at the Grafham Water Inland Championships over the weekend.

Says Jack, “The second day started light and misty but was forecast to build and brighten up. We sailed three races and I got 1,1,2 which left me first by a comfortable margin from Martin Evans. That’s Inland Champion two years running!

“I was amazed at how comfortable and flexible the Zhik Microfleece Skiff suit was in some of the more awkward light wind positions and I had a great feeling for the boat with the Boot - 260.”

Simon Payne of Zhik says, “We are delighted to be working with Jack, a young British sailor who clearly shows signs of being great. Well done Jack! We are very pleased that the performance advantages of our kit came shining through.

ZhikSkin MicroFleece is relatively thin super stretchy neoprene, laminated with an inner layer of silver fleece. It is tailored for men, women and kids.
