Fast paced one design racing is at the core of the Gill DNA and so the RS European championships at Fraglia Vela Riva is a perfect event for us to be involved with. Our comprehensive Dinghy Collection has been designed to aid and enhance performance on the water. By working with competitors at international regattas such as this, we are able to develop products for our range such as the Compressor Vest and popular new Hiking System both of which evolved simply by listening and answering the needs of sailors striving to be the best. Attracting more than 100 boats, the RS fleet return to one of their favourite venues for their European championships this summer, which offers some of the best high wind sailing conditions and most spectacular back drops on the planet. Bryan Stewart Sales and Marketing Director at Gill comments: "We love the high octane racing of the RS fleet and we love Lake Garda so what's not to like about this event, it is a perfect fit for us. On a personal level I have sailed at Garda a few times and it is certainly one of my favourite places to race." Gill will be on site during the event, providing a broad selection of great prizes across the fleets and adding to the legendary RS party atmosphere by supporting some of the after sailing fun during the week. In addition they'll be running a fully professional photo shoot working with the superb Ian Roman and hope to capture some great video footage out on the water.
