Zhik counts seven on the Podium in the ISAF World Rankings, with 2 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Bronze. This includes Gold and Silver Star class sailors, with Rob Scheidt / Bruno Prada BRA (pictured) and Mateusz Kusnierwicz / Zycki Dominik POL respectively.

"There are more sailors joining, so we are on target to make more than a dozen in the top three of the ISAF Sailing World Rankings", said Dan Watterson, who keeps track of all the team movements in the Zhik program. "We'll see how things pans out in the coming months, with some brilliant new sailors joining our elite team."

Zhik is currently reviewing its team, and adding new sailors as it gets ready for the next quadrennium towards the 2012 Olympics.
