My problem on the Javelin is that the rope loads are so high, hands or gloves get ripped to shreds in a few races. Gill pro/extreme used to be good but they changed the yellow fabric so they only last a few weeks. Found some code zero ones that lasted a bit and warm enough for autumn. Tried builders gloves, either no grip or no warmth. Neoprene glovesnice and warm but no grip and wear out really fast.

Got some fancy zhik ones from the off sales shop in Cowes .. expensive! Lady in shop says to wear cheap grip gloves over the spensive sailing gloves to get both grip and protection whilst letting the grip gloves wear out. Shall be trying it from March. 31st. Not optimistic.

Gill ..yes you! . Start making those pro gloves properly again. And do the winter ones with a well bonded fleece lining cause the thin fabric liners rip, tangle and make the gloves hard to get on.

Try something like this. I had to stop using them because they were too grippy! Also no issue with wear/warmth as they are incredibly well insulated 

I would recommend a size bigger than your normal with them as they are sized small in my opinion

Mine have arrived, impressed, grippy and warm but you’re right on the size. Obviously not yet tried them out

Look pretty good.  I like the waterproof bit .. don't think "too grippy" applies on a Javelin.

A third the price of the Musto and Zhik badged builders gloves too.

And a sixth the price of my new (discounted) zhik G2 dinghy gloves.
