"Since our father Henri founded this company in 1963 we have been fortunate to work with some of the best sailors and teams from around the world. From Sir Francis Chichester and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston through to Ben Ainslie and Shirley Robertson.  Our aim has always been to provide the very best that technology and design will allow, in order that the individual can optimise their performance. Stamina, power and the ability to maintain concentration in a range of climatic conditions all have to be taken into account.  We are extremely proud of this 2008 range of clothing, it has evolved through the use of innovative materials and constant fine tuning to help you gain the winning edge."
