Sports eyewear manufacturer Bollé has provided British sailor Ian Williams and his GAC Pindar crew with polarised sunglasses from its Marine range as they bid for a fifth Alpari World Match Racing Tour (AWMRT) title.
Ian Williams said: ‘The crew and I are delighted to have the support of Bollé as we embark on the tour. It is vital to have the right pair of sunglasses to satisfy the demands of marine sport, and Bollé sunglasses fill me with the utmost confidence that they will provide me with the eye protection and clarity of vision needed to allow me to fully concentrate on the race at hand.’
Crew members will be able to choose from two types of polarised lens to suit conditions while on the water – Offshore Blue for harsh sunlight and Inland Gold for low light conditions. An oleophobic coating prevents water spots from forming and Thermogrip temple tips and nose pads help the sunglasses stay in place.
