Our journey in dinghy sailing began in 1975 when our founder, Nick Gill, himself a keen dinghy sailor, recognised the lack of suitable clothing on the market. This drove him to design and create apparel that offered superior protection, durability, and freedom of movement – the very foundation upon which our technical dinghy sailing range is built today.
For 50 years, we’ve been at the forefront of dinghy sailing apparel, driven by a clear and essential purpose: to provide dinghy sailors with gear that can truly withstand the elements and enhance their performance. From creating the world’s first 2-piece Dinghy Suit in 1989 to the groundbreaking ‘Gill Speedskin’ engineered for the British Sailing Team at the Olympics, and now our innovative Zen Series range, we’ve consistently pushed boundaries.
This rich heritage and dedication to the sport are woven into every piece of our collection, meticulously engineered for agility, durability, and the ultimate competitive edge on the water — whatever the conditions.
