Specialised marine clothing brand, Henri Lloyd are to announce the continuation of their sponsorship of the Cutting Edge Sailing Team in 2008. This year Team Henri Lloyd-Cutting Edge will be racing an IRC modified TP52 (previously
Patches 1) in the rapidly growing Solent based fleet of these Grand Prix race boats.
The 2007 season was extremely successful in owners Robert Lutener and Martin Elwood’s previous boat - a Farr 45. Team Henri Lloyd-Cutting Edge won their class in both the JP Morgan Round the Island Race and at Skandia Cowes Week, where they also won the IRM Class.
This year, Team Henri Lloyd-Cutting Edge will be competing in Skandia Cowes Week, ACC Cork Week, JPMorgan Round the Island Race and the IRC Championships as well as other regattas in the Solent. The crew will be dressed in the latest innovative range from Henri Lloyd’s marine collection, including the award winning Atmosphere Jacket, the extremely popular Shadow range and the critically acclaimed Octane range.
“We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Cutting Edge Sailing Team once again," commented Paul Strzelecki, Joint Chief Executive, Henri Lloyd. "It was a pleasure to be part of their team in 2007, and we were extremely proud of the team’s successes over the year. We look forward to some exciting racing in their new boat.”
“The support from Henri Lloyd made a real difference to our development as a team last year and we are delighted that they are continuing the sponsorship in the new boat” said co-owner Robert Lutener.
