The Womens Match Racing event is new for the Olympics in 2012, and Zhik is making sure it has a hot team ready. Team Leroy (Claire Leroy, Marie Riou, and Eodie Bertrand) from France now join Zhik, and bring in some great experience. They won the world championship in 2007 and 2008 and are recently ranked ISAF World number 1.

"We're very excited to watch the Womens match racing", said Robert Nagy during the Hyeres Regatta. "It was particularly pleasing to see both Zhik team's, Tunnicliffe and Leroy, battle it out in the semi finals at this grade 1 event".

Watch this space, as we predict more hot news from Leroy to come!
