Ever dreamt of cruising the Isles of Scilly and Guernsey? Hamish Southby-Tailyor did just that, and wrote an award-winning piece on the adventure. Here, he accepts the Zhik Spirit of Adventure Award, judged by experts from Yachting Monthly and Zhik on the Foredeck Stage at the Southampton Boat Show.
As part of the award, Hamish received a suite of Zhik sailing kit, which included the CST500™ Jacket, Salopette, Seaboot 700, and a 45-litre waterproof duffel bag.
The CST500™ range is Zhik's high-performance coastal range, purpose-built to provide lightweight protection, comfort and performance in various conditions.
The Seaboot 700 is as comfortable in short-haul and overnight crossings as in high-performance boat racing, providing the perfect protection for your coastal adventures. It is an amazingly lightweight and flexible boot that offers the comfort and agility of a trainer with complete protection from the elements and unparalleled grip from the Michelin rubber soles.
Congratulations, Hamish!
