Helly Hansen fashion show

At this weekend's RYA Dinghy Show

Following last years success Helly Hansen will once again be holding a fashion show at the RYA Dinghy Sailing Show this weekend at Alexandra Palace. The fashion show will be a 1pm on the main stage.

Helly Hansen will be showing off its new Spring/Summer 2004 collection of clothes and buoyancy aids for dinghy sailing and sportsboats. The range, which will be modelled by Helly Hansen's team of world class sponsored sailors, highlights the latest in technical, performance and onshore clothing.

Richard and Kit Stenhouse, Nick Thompson, Nick Rogers and Joe Glanfield will be amongst the Helly Hansen sponsored sailors demonstrating the gear they choose for their sailing campaigns. There will be an opportunity during the show to hear their views about the features they look for, and gain invaluable advice about the right items to choose for all types of watersports.

Visitors to the show can see Helly Hansen's innovative new designs including the unique Kidsafe buoyancy aid for young children, the latest Racing Smock Top and the exciting new LIFA®Versa collection.

The Helly Hansen catwalk team will be showing clothes and accessories from the new collection of quick dry and non-technical summer gear. This includes on-shore jackets such as the Transat III Jacket, and the lady's Breeze Jacket. A stunning selection of trousers, polo shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts and fleeces ideal for après-sailing will also be on show for the first time.

All the products in the Helly Hansen fashion show, as well as those essential hats, caps and gloves can be found at a selection of chandlers and retailers at the RYA Dinghy Sailing Show including Jimmy Green Marine, Great Hall D4 and Shipmates, West Hall G3.
