Deck Shoe Deals!
Deck Shoe Deals!
As Autumn approaches, the temperatures cool and the flip flops get packed away for another year why not take advantage of some great deals on deck footwear at P&B. As any sailor will tell you stable footing, sure grip and comfort are vital when spending time on the water. P&B's range of deck footwear offers all this, however, even on land they perform just as well and the classic styling is a common sight around all sailing/yacht clubs and bars! Here's our top 5 deck shoes for this season:
  1. Musto Performance Deck Shoe
  2. Gill Baltimore Deck Shoe
  3. Gill Newport Deck Shoe
  4. Henri Lloyd Deck Grip Profile 2 Trainer
  5. Gill Tech Deck Trainer
Don't forget that our team of product experts are on hand with any help or advice you may need on all our footwear ranges. Call us 01604 592808 for more info!


 
Mid Layers!
Layer Up For Autumn!
If you're starting to feel the cold like us in the P&B office then it might be time to think about layering up. Aside from all the technical base layers and thermal jackets we stock, P&B also have a wide range of light weight mid layers which are perfect for this time of year. The Musto Evolution Softshell Jacket, Musto Evolution Microfleece, Gill Grid Microfleece Zip Neck and Henri Lloyd Traverse Half Zip are all excellent adaptable mid layers which can be worn as a thermal layer in the winter or a smart top layer in Autumn.


 
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!

Fresh from his 6th place finish at the SAP 505 World Championships this weeks 'Kit of the Week' comes from P&B's managing director Ian Pinnell. In what has been a busy year in the 505 fleet Ian's spars have traveled across the globe from Barbados to Kiel and beyond. With so much traveling it is vital to protect your spars. For this reason Ian has picked the P&B Padded Mast Bag as his 'Kit of the Week' as it protects your mast from damage in transit and importantly UV degradation which can often cause those dreaded mast failures.

P&B's range of mast bags can be made to order incorporating bespoke features in order to fit any mast. For more info call us on 01604 592808 as speak to one of our sail loft team.
