Unprecedented vision. Unparalleled objectives.
Having been afforded a week's worth of deep immersion into the SSL Gold Cup, many things have become evident.
The only polo you'll ever need
If you're only bringing one polo, make it the quick drying Mav Tech Polo. Its UV50 protective fabric makes it perfect for summer weather and comfortable enough for any kind of travel.
Road trip!
After a few years of very localised living, travel is opening up, and as a family we've made our first proper road trip for a while, heading down the west coast of France for a camping holiday.
NEW Summer Rooster Ts
Technical in fabric with quick drying and UV50+ properties, yet in appearance it looks and feels like a t-shirt that you can wear for everyday style.
Something So Right
As early as the mid-1970s, worried articles were appearing in Yachts & Yachting magazine that highlighted the concerns that - after 20 years of unbroken growth - participation numbers hadn't just plateaued, but were already starting a downward trend.
Casual and smart shirts for every occasion
A Musto shirt to suit your style. From 100% clean crisp cotton to something with a little more flex.
Beginning a Winning
Could also have been winning from the beginning. Either way I was able to seriously consider all that it takes to get into yachting, and the very essence of the difference between being a participant, and taking home the silverware.
Five top tips for sailing an RS Aero
In the RS community, we are passionate about helping others reach their full potential. This makes for fierce racing on the water and creates vibrant classes that keep inspiring sailors decades on.
Through the eye of a needle
Saturday was a day which will live in the memories of many of the youth sailors at my home club of Keyhaven for a long time, for all the right reasons.
Marine Resources latest jobs
Did you know, 9.8 million employed Brits are actively job hunting each day? With so many fantastic job opportunities in the market, we don't blame you for keeping an eye out.
Looking for your next marine industry role?
The marine industry is brimming with opportunity at the moment, which means there has never been a better time to join or move on to new and exciting roles.
Which Service Kit for my Andersen Winch?
Andersen sailing winches have a strong record for service and support. However, after 60 years of product evolution, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of which of their service kits is required for each of the winch models.
Nice way to celebrate
When is 100 not 100? When it is actually 115. No matter. Any of it is cause enough for celebration. This all started when I was under hull #100 of the super-popular J/99 as she was being commissioned at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Brisbane.
