In some of the most exhilarating and closely fought racing, showcasing the pinnacle of sailing skill and innovation, Zhik-sponsored athletes dominated the podium, with Hattie Rogers winning the Female division, and Jacob Pye clinching second place in the 2024 Moth World Championships titles.

Hattie's remarkable victory highlights her dedication, precision, and technical mastery in the demanding International Moth class. As one of Zhik's most prominent ambassadors, she reflects the brand's commitment to supporting world-class sailors who push the boundaries of performance.
