John Bertrand teams up with Andrew Palfrey and Ben Ainslie for his Etchells Worlds Campaign. After recently winning the Australian titles last month in Adelaide, he is now tuning up for the local conditions on Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. The Etchell is one of the most hotly contested classes, and the worlds regularly brings the top professional sailors together. The fleet at this years event is no exception, with an amazing array of briliant sailors on display.

"It is nice to see the Zhik wet gear beginning to be adopted by the Etchells", said Brian Conolly, founder of Zhik, "there is a growing trend towards our streamlined racing kit among the smaller keel boats. We are also learning from the sailors here for the Etchells Worlds, and already have some great ideas for new kit specific to their needs on the drawing board."
