YOUTH AHOY!
 
After a very wet and windy weekend out on the water P&B want to encourage all up and coming sailors to get properly kitted out for the British elements. There is nothing worse than putting kids off due to our weather! Even though the summer we’ve been promised is well on its way, it's important our younger generations of sailors are wearing good quality wetsuits, it might be sunny but the water is still pretty chilly at this time of year. Keeping the wind chill at bay with a good quality spay top will stop your little monkeys from moaning and keep them out on the water for longer. We all know the British weather has a tendency to throw all sorts of different extremes our way, P&B junior kit has everything your child could need whatever level they sail at.

Gul Junior steamer - £35.99 RRP £40.00

Gul Junior All Purpose Boot - £24.99 - RRP £30.00
Gill Junior Dinghy Top - £42.50  RRP £47.00

Gill Junior Team Buoyancy Aid - £35.00 - RRP £42.00
