The 2016 470 World Championships concluded overnight, and we are proud to announce that Zhik’s talented team riders made it to the top once again. The championship took place in Buenos Aires under challenging circumstances as a virtual “sea of weeds” made for tricky conditions. Huge congratulations go to Croatia’s Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic for taking home the win, New Zealand’s Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Wilcox who scored second, with Australia’s Matt Blecher and Will Ryan following in third. In the women’s category, Zhik team members Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie (NZL) took second place.

Congratulations to all our team riders for their final placings and fantastic sailing.
