Danish Sailing Team Shoremanager, Frank Eriksen explains, "We are delighted Zhik have agreed to continue this partnership. It's a brand that continues to deliver great gear and results. For our sailors it means they can stay focused on developing their boat speed, tactics and technique, and rest assured that any developments in their apparel to improve their kinetic efficiency and comfort afloat are fully in hand as they prepare for their Olympic sailing regatta to be held in Marseilles 2024."

Piet Poelmann, Zhik CEO comments, "We are really excited to be extending this excellent partnership for another 3 years. The Danish Sailing Team are a very important part of our strategy of partnering with the World's best teams, both on and off the water, to strengthen Zhik's commitment to becoming the number 1 sailing brand in the World.
