The UK 29er Class announces a new 3 year sponsorship deal with Zhik that covers the UK 29er National Championships from 2016-2018 inclusive. The 2016 Nationals are to be held at Royal Torbay Yacht Club with the 2017 event booked already for Weymouth. Zhik has been a long time partner of the 29er Class as headline sponsor for the Nationals and preferred clothing supplier.
Simon Payne of Zhik commented:
"Zhik are delighted to once again be the title sponsor for the UK 29er National Championships at Royal Torbay this summer.
"We are passionate admirers of the class, with very high quality racing on the water and fun atmosphere on shore! We wish all the teams good luck and hope everyone has an exciting and enjoyable regatta."
Paul Hammett, UK 29er UK Class Chairman commented:
"The 29er is one of the largest youth classes in the UK and we are excited to align ourselves with a dynamic brand like Zhik. We are very appreciative of the support that Zhik have afforded the 29er Class over the last few years and look forward to extending that in the years ahead."
