  • Gill Marine – Designing marine gear that really works, starts with understanding what is required in the first place. At Gill, the process begins with a group of sailors at all levels, right up to Olympic medallists and Volvo Ocean Race Winners, getting together and going through their kit bags. We then design our ranges to their exact specifications and when we have protoytpes, we ask them to test the products for us.
