Gill’s July Highlights: Racing, Innovation, and Global Sailing Action
July has been a thrilling month for Gill, marked by world-class regattas, high-performance gear launches, and exciting moments from our ambassadors. As T10’s largest brand, Gill continues to set the standard in premium sailing apparel, proving why it’s trusted by professional sailors and passionate racers worldwide.
Gill on the World Stage
The 2025 Admiral’s Cup kicked off with the Channel Race on July 19th, and Gill ambassadors Team ROST (Rotterdam Offshore Sailing Team) were right in the action. As the faces of Gill’s current “Race” campaign, Team ROST are showcasing Gill’s cutting-edge performance gear in challenging offshore conditions.
July also saw major events like The Fastnet Race, the 420 Junior European Championships, and the UK Optimist National Championships—with many athletes proudly wearing Gill equipment. The UK 420 team sported newly branded rash vests and bibs provided by Gill, ensuring both comfort and performance on the water.
Product Innovation: Built to Protect Adventurers
In the US, Gill made waves at iCast, the premier showcase for fishing gear, clothing, and marine accessories. A highlight was the “hydrostatic happy hour”, where Gill’s raingear was pressure-tested live against competitors—proving why Gill remains a leader in waterproof performance gear.
Gill’s new Race Collection—featuring the Verso, Verso Lite, UV Tec, OS2, and premium accessories—is now live. Shot with Team ROST in Cowes and Germany’s Play Harder Team, this collection is engineered for sailors who demand lightweight performance, protection, and durability.
