Gill says it was created in 1975 to protect sailors from the elements. The company’s Our Story page states that founder Nick Gill started making sailing apparel in the corner of his father’s textile factory in Long Eaton, Nottingham in 1975.
The same page says Gill developed garments for Britain’s first America’s Cup sailing team within five years of its start. It also states that in 1989 the company introduced what it describes as the world’s first two-piece dinghy suit.
On its US site, Gill documents sailing watches and timers among its product lines. The site presents sailing watches as part of its accessories and equipment offering, and the watches collection page shows Sailing Watches as a named collection.
The US contact page identifies the business as Gill North America Inc. and lists a registered office at 2315 Beach Blvd, Ste 201, Jacksonville Beach, Florida 32250. That page also gives the customer support email as [email protected] and lists the phone number as 844-401-GILL (4455).
