Having the right technical clothing is as race-critical as having the right food,” explains Charles Caudrelier, who is back for his second campaign as skipper of Dongfeng Race Team. “在沃尔沃环球帆船赛中，船员要时刻面临各种极端环境，因此选择好的高科技航海服饰就如同选择好食物一样重要！” 再次担任东风队船长的夏尔-戈德赫里埃这样解释。 He continues: “As an elite sailing team, we are always looking to get the extra edge on our competitors. We share the same goal with Zhik to optimise everything we do. Detail is key in this race and if we succeed in being innovative together, it could make us even more competitive on the water. Zhik can help us to perform at our peak day and night, week after week.” 他继续说道:“各方面的附加优势可以帮助我们在比赛中脱颖而出。我们和Zhik有共同的目标，所有事都做到尽善尽美。而细节对于航海来说至关重要，如果我们能一起创新成功，那么船队在比赛中就会更具竞争力。Zhik可以帮助我们每天以最佳状态投入比赛，无论在烈日灼心的昼日，还是月黑风高的夜晚，周而复始。” Crew members such as Australian-British sailor and bowman on board Dongfeng, Jack Bouttell, will rely on Zhik’s unique design technology and innovative fabric to help them operate and perform at the highest level. 东风队澳大利亚-英国双重国籍的船员、前甲板手杰克-博泰尔作为船员代表正与Zhik的设计师紧密配合，协助他们研发并生产出赛队在比赛中真正需要的航海服，从而体现出赛队的最高水平。 Bouttell has been the lead crew in working with Zhik’s designers to help them produce offshore gear that does the job he and his fellow Dongfeng Race Team sailors need. “It has been a fascinating process to test out new foul weather gear and give them feedback from the front of the boat,” commented Bouttell. 杰克-博泰尔一直带领船员在与赛壳合作的设计师来帮助他们研发近岸装备，这是他和他的同事东风队都需要的。“我从船上的前甲板测试最新航海服的防水性能等，并立即给设计团队反馈，这是一个令人兴奋的过程！”杰克-博泰尔说道。 As in the previous race, Dongfeng Race Team is committed to promoting and developing the sport of offshore sailing in China and will have three Chinese sailors in the team, alongside new additions such as Carolijn Brouwer (NED) and Marie Riou (FRA). 东风队延续了上届参赛的使命，致力于推动远洋帆船运动在中国的发展，已宣布有三名中国船员刘学、杨济儒、陈锦浩正式入队，并且积极响应新赛季鼓励女性水手加入的号召，邀请知名奥运女选手卡洛琳-布劳尔（荷兰）和玛丽-里乌（法国）加盟。 Zhik CEO, David Crow commented: “The team at Zhik is thrilled to announce the partnership with Dongfeng Race Team which is doing so much to develop sailing in China, as well as embracing new rules to encourage female sailors to take part in the world’s premier crewed offshore race. Our world class, high-tech yachting gear is designed to push the boundaries of waterproof and breathable protection, enabling our race partners to consistently perform at their best in their quest to win.” 赛壳首席执行官David Crow说：“赛壳迫不及待的宣布与东风队的合作。东风队在为中国帆船的发展做出了如此巨大的贡献，以及鼓励采用新规则来让更多女性船员参加世界首屈一指的离岸赛。我们世界一流的高科技装备是旨在提供防水透气的保护，使我们的合作伙伴他们在追求胜利中发挥最佳表现。” Bart Milczarczyk, Zhik’s global head of design added: “The collaboration with Dongfeng Race Team is a very exciting partnership.
