Henri-Lloyd joins forces with JOG
Henri-Lloyd has become the new official clothing partner for the Junior Offshore Group, JOG. The partnership will focus on four key areas – youth sailing, sustainable clothing, repairs, and sponsorship of the JOG Lymington to Cowes race on Saturday 18th September 2021. This summer, Henri-Lloyd will also launch an official merchandise range for JOG members.
Henri-Lloyd says it’s keen to continue to support grass-roots sailing, and is donating 12 sets of jackets and salopettes to support JOG’s recently launched youth programme, Generation JOG. Sailors, 25 years old and under, will have the opportunity to win this kit if they achieve certain milestones, for example, first time racing across the English Channel or first 100 miles racing.
The company will also have a major focus on sustainability with promotion of its new recycled ‘HL BLU’ gore-tex range and its online repair shop, encouraging more responsible consumption and lengthening the life of existing kit.
“We are really excited to welcome Henri-Lloyd on as our official clothing partner,” says Dougie Leacy, captain of JOG. “Not only is Henri-Lloyd a distinguished and trusted brand to have onboard but most importantly they are 100% committed to helping us activate our youth sailing program.
