Can't remember before wet suits and dry suits, they were mad money.

Above my desk as I type I look at a rather unfortunate 40 year old photo of me sailing a Laser in said yellow wellies, Number One stretch suit and protecting my Holt buoyancy aid and Javlin wetsuit underneath.
I also had more hair then, and an unfortunate taste in glasses.

Our ‘winkies’ (a boiler suit made from thick gagoole material) weren’t water proof so a few stitches in the butt area didn’t affect performance. We invented layering, double trackie bottoms under the winky. Who needed wet suit boots, we had pumps, certainly lasted longer than a few premium brands I could mention. Buoyancy aid, manually inflating life jacket.
But the coolest thing on a the planet, GP14 that had a golf club shaft, not a piece of wood, as a tiller extension. In hindsight it is perplexing that the sport grew in these days of black and white TV

Because it is a relatively natural product not a chemical full of preservatives. Needs a good cellar man and a thirsty crew to keep it fresh
