On Deck Essentials!
So when your boat is ready and your itching to get out on the water there are some absolute 'on deck essentials' to have before you leave the shore. Regardless if your a helm or part of the crew, single hander or yacht racer there are always little 'must haves' which should be with you on deck making all the difference race day. Good grip is essential at all times and the
Gill Deckhand Glove is one particular favorite of ours. Staying physically and mentally sharp is also an important aspect of racing so the 'all natural'
Torq Gels are perfect for staying energised. Running repairs are a common feature of championship racing so spare
blocks and/or
snap hook is essential whilst
electrical tape,
splicing fids and a
Gerber Suspension Tool should always be kept close to hand for those emergencies.
There are many more 'essentials' but it's all down to personal preference and your own preparations, however if you need any help or advice getting race ready then contact us on
