An iconic Henri-Lloyd offshore sailing smock produced for the Silk Cut team competing in the 1997–98 Whitbread Round the World Race, skippered by British sailor Lawrie Smith.
Constructed using GORE-TEX® Ocean Technology fabric with a breathable lining and Polartec® 200 trim, the smock was designed to withstand demanding offshore conditions. Finished in the team's distinctive purple and white colourway, it features original Silk Cut sponsorship branding, Henri-Lloyd embroidery and a personalised crew patch identifying navigator Steve Hayles, No. 10.
During the race, Silk Cut set a remarkable 24-hour distance record of 449.1 nautical miles, demonstrating the extraordinary speed and performance of the new generation of Whitbread 60 yachts. The team also claimed victory on Leg 6, establishing itself among the leading competitors in one of offshore sailing's most demanding events.
