Sailing with ice crystals in the mainsheet is always a good test of manlyness, an hour or so of playing the sheet soon separates the men from the boys!

Too cold? Bunch of girls more like! Went sailing yesterday on Plymouth Sound and it felt like the middle of summer in Scotland. Just need to keep active on the boat to keep yourself warm.

5/3 refers the the thickness of the neoprene. Generally steamers are 5mm in the torso to help maintain core temperature, and the arms are 3mm to allow for better mobility. Hence 5/3.... not a typo.
