‘AINSLIE collection clothing for future sailing prospects

by Amy Bradley-Watson, Henri Lloyd 17 Nov 2008 14:36 GMT

Henri Lloyd and Mailspeed Marine present future sailing prospects with latest ‘AINSLIE’ collection clothing

Hannah Bristow, from Macclesfield has been selected by Henri Lloyd and Mailspeed Marine to receive support in the form of a selection of technical marine clothing jointly designed by Henri Lloyd and double gold medallist Ben Ainslie. Hannah, aged 10 is currently competing in the Optimist class out of Budworth Sailing Club.

Through Henri Lloyd’s partnership with their retailer network, promising young sailors will receive a selection of the Ben Ainslie Junior Collection.

Ben Ainslie has worked in conjunction with Henri Lloyd to design this junior range which includes spray tops, hiking pants, rash vests and a selection of accessories, the collection all has a unique design and carries the Ben Ainslie signature.

Ben’s unsurpassed sailing career, which ranges from Optimists, Lasers, Finn’s and more recently America’s Cup campaigns ensured an in depth sailing knowledge and experience was brought to the design and development of the range.

“I have been sailing since I was eight years old and know how important it is to be properly kitted out whilst on the water, therefore developing a junior clothing range was really important to me, especially if it will inspire young sailors. Henri Lloyd understands the needs of the sailor and we have designed a range that is fun and comfy which also enables you to move freely around the boat, once it’s on it works, and you can forget about it and focus on performing on the water.” Ben Ainslie

Henri Lloyd and Ben have a long history together; he has been supported by Henri Lloyd since 1996 which has included both his Sydney, Athens & Beijing gold medal winning successes and other big boat campaigns. At the Collins Stewart London Boat Show 2007, Henri Lloyd announced the sponsorship of Ben until after the 2012 London Olympics.

“We are really pleased to combine with Henri Lloyd & Ben Ainslie to support Hannah, she is a talented sailor with a bright future ahead of her. Maybe she too will go all the way to Olympic glory.” Simon Relph, Mailspeed Marine
