Celebrated Olympian in 470, Mistral and Tornado, world champion, and solo ocean yachtsman, Robert Nagy, has joined the Zhik sales team for Europe. 

"Robert comes to Zhik with perfect timing. He clearly knows how to win, and his history speaks for itself", said Brian Conolly, founder and CEO of Zhik. "We know what he is capable of, and we are very excited by what he brings to the European sales team. Not just for nations like his home country of France, but for the whole EU."

Robert brings an understanding of many sailing disciplines to Zhik. He is five times world champ in the Olympic board, represented France at multiple Olympics. He has also campaigned in the double handed 470 dinghy and Tornado catamaran. More recently, however, he has spent many days as a professional skipper offshore singlehanded racing in the demanding Figario Circuit.

In addition Robert has a strong business background, having founded a J Boats dealership in the French Mediterranean.

"Robert combines amazing sailing experience with a strong business acumen", continues Conolly, "there is plenty of scope for Robert to give Zhik a shot in the arm in sales. I am also particularly pleased as he will expand our expert technical support for our team in Europe, and help us address the needs in yachting, sail boarding and catamaran sailing."
