Wow, I see Rooster have developed a drinking bottle espacially for dinghy sailing, revolutionary! And there was I thinking that cycle bottles and holders did the job perfectly, how little I know.

Sorry about the sarcasm, I couldn't help it. I think they've missed a trick by not using any carbon fibre in its construction though.

It's not overpriced, compared to cycling bottles...
It definitely has a niche in the market.

why not just get some old coke bottles or something and then put one of the funny lids on them? works fine and costs less than that.

and you can use the same lid on a 2litre bottle if you have a realy long day on the water.

If you have it attached with elastic they can't nick it... Coke bottles not good for getting ice in if so desired.
