Hudson Wight might be the new kid on the block amongst the myriad of clothing brands in the UK marine leisure market but the team behind the launch of this latest apparel brand, described as 'performance sailwear for everyone', are in it for the long haul.
Hudson Wight combines sailing experience, proven fabric technology and design and manufacturing expertise to produce great looking, lightweight and breathable 'offshore spec' gear at less than half the price of other brands by supplying direct to the customer.
The brand, targeted at sailors racing and cruising inshore and offshore and launched directly to its target audience at AAM Cowes Week in August, is kicking off its Autumn season as the Official Clothing Sponsor to the Garmin Hamble Winter Series, commencing Sunday 6th October and running over eight weekends until 1st December.
Hudson Wight's Marketing Director, Jeremy Pocock, explains that initially they were lined up as a Day Sponsor of the Series, but when the opportunity arose to be the Official Clothing Sponsor they were delighted to grab the opportunity.
"As the Official Clothing Sponsor to the Garmin Hamble Winter Series, we can immediately align the Hudson Wight brand with top class racing amongst the competing IRC classes, J109s, J111s, Sigma 38 and one-design classes. This exposure opens up all manner of opportunities to us."
