What To Wear For A Windy Weekend!
With one eye on the forecast the weekend is set to be an eventful one, to coin a popular phrase it's 'blowing dogs off chains' so this week P&B are looking at some great products for those 'Windy Weekends'...
Spray Tops - protection from the wind and spray whilst being able to stay mobile around the boat is essential especially in breezy conditions! P&B have a selection of
spray tops which fit the bill including the
Gill Dinghy Top and the
Gul Code Zero Spray Top.
Hikers - Centering your boats buoyancy by shifting your body weight can often lead to fast sailing but aching muscles. P&B's range of
hikers including the
Gul C/Z Pro D30 Thermal Hikepants offer all the support needed when hiking hard in the windy conditions.
Hiking Pads - for that extra bit of support and protection you can also try one of a number of
hiking pads available at P&B. A number of different designs are available with the
Crewsaver Phase2 Hiking Pads, with wrap around fit, proving to be a popular addition to the kitbag.
Gloves - to help get to grips with the wind P&B also offer a superb range of
gloves which protect the hands and offer,importantly, excellent grip. A few pairs of
Zhik Grip Gloves or the
Gill Grip Gloves are a cost effective way of getting through those hard days sailing.
Dinghy Boots - on any day of sailing a steady base is important to the success of your sailing. Amongst the wide variety of
dinghy boots available at P&B the
Zhikgrip II Dinghy Boot stands up the best in the windier conditions. Designed to increase hiking performance with the durable rubber compound stud profile this boots provides excellent grip on your toe straps. A must have for the adrenalin junkie who wants to stay out for longer!
Hunker Down!
With whispers of Hurricane Bertha heading towards the UK bringing with it up to 73mph winds you might be tempted to leave the sailing down to the hardcore adrenalin fiends out there. Avoid the scenes of last years mini tornado which hit the south coast in spectacular fashion and get all the protection you may need with a
P&B Boat Cover,
P&B Mast Bag,
Hook and Ratchet Straps and
Gunwale Protectors.
