Cold Weather Sailing!
Cold Weather Wearing!
If you're planning on braving the cold weather this winter then there are some product that you definitely need to consider. Starting with the body the Gill Thermal Dinghy Top offers excellent protection from the warmth with it's fleece lined collar and neoprene waist band. If you're looking for a full body solution then you can't really look past the Zhik Superwarm Package or one of our many drysuits including the Gul Code Zero U-zip Drysuit. Once you are happy with your body, consider your accessories, both the Gill Helmsman Hat and the Gill Three Season Gloves are excellent additions to the winter kit bag.

If you're looking to add to your winter kit then don't forget P&B are also offering FREE Delivery on all on-line orders over £75 for a limited time only so there's no better time to buy!


 
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.

For those of you who follow us on Facebook you will have seen the latest fit out for the NEW Ovington 505. This weekend P&B's 505 guru Ian Pinnell took the latest addition to the P&B fleet down to Weymouth SC for it's maiden voyage to test a number of new features. One feature which Ian thought worthy of the 'Kit of the Week' title was his new jib system. Consisting of Tapered Jib Sheet, Harken Swivel Blocks, Harken 16mm Blocks and Plastimo Angle Bushes the new system replaces the heavy and expensive curved track system found on a number of boats. It not only saves weight and money but according to Ian makes sheeting much easier especially in extreme conditions.

Call us on 01604 592808 or email ian@pinbax.com to find out more about our new jib systems.
