gael, you should get a trident bag with the dry part in it. i soooo no what you mean about taking everything with you, (it's girl thing!!) my bag is about the same size as me! but i have one that i can actually fit into and do the zip up (i was also carried around in it!!) and no i'm not tiny the bag is HUGE!!
i have had my trient bag for years now and it still hasn't broken! bye the way, im not a sales person for trident! |

Why don't you take out a couple of subscriptions (yes I know you're the Editor) - then you get two free bags for your kit and can give the magazines to deserving postees
BTW in the 8th Oct issue who are the gorgeous babes on p45? They should be entered for the top totty prize! |

That's a great idea!
I tend to drive around with big boat and dinghy kit in my car... but all in one bag, which is definitely looking the worse for wear - quite apart from the fact that being a 'Silk Cut' bag it encourages all sorts of speculation about how I came to be in its possession - the truth being all too boring! |

I suggest two bags - one for what you're going to wear and the other for the rest. You can then leave one in the boot but have the rest of your kit to hand in case of emergency / change in the weather.

Alternatively, dispense with bags altogether and simply fill the entire boot of the car with sailing kit, spanners and spares. However, it will smell foul if that you forget to take out before going to the supermarket on Monday night. Or is that just me? |

The bigger the bag the more you put in it! Buy a smaller bag and then you can only take what you need. |

Gael, you could get one of those Henri Lloyd ones with wheels on, look a little pathetic but does not tire your arms out. Personally I stick to my old Typhoon single compartment one and a bin liner for dry stuff, and just jump on it if i can't fit stuff in, percussive maintanance

Getting off the subject a bit... but (and this must be very girlie of me) I
never know what kit to take, so tend to have everything - yes 5 rashies, wetsuit, drysuit etc... my sailing bag is bigger than me and it's beginning to fall apart... Any suggestions for a replacement? Or a strategy to keep my gear down? |
