Kit Of The Week!
KIT of the WEEK!
Each week one of the P&B team will be looking into their kit bag and giving us an item that they simply wouldn't sail without!

Blessed with another couple of days of sun it was enjoyable weekend both on and off the water at the Hamble Warming Pan. With the majority of the team sailing at Hamble it was Boat Sales Manager Oli Wells who was closest to victory so we thought we'd ask him what gave him an edge on the water. Selecting 'Kit of the Week' he chose the new Gill Tactic Sunglasses which he felt helped him see the wind shifts on the water in tricky sailing conditions. Not your ordinary sunglasses which just protect your eyes from the sun these are floatable and repel all water, oils and salt residue. As good as these sunglasses are unfortunately they cant help you when tallying off..see blog
