Another fantastic week for sailors at the Laser National Championships - especially for those wearing Rooster Pro Hikers! Click here for a video explanation of the Rooster Pro Hiking System.

Congratuations to Nick Thompson for wining the Standard Rig National and Open Championships, wearing small rooster pro hikers with medium pads and to Olly Porter for winning the 4.7 National and Open Championships wearing Extra Small Pro Hikers with XS pads. Steve Cockerill came second in the Radial Category beaten by Jon Emmett in a thrilling final day. Steve was wearing small pro hikers with medium pads - not too bad for a 45 year old!

I know it was cold in Pwhelli - but just how much gear was Steve Cockerill wearing? Poly Pro top - for a dry warm rash free skin layer, hot top for a thin reflective warm layer, and an aquafleece for a wind chill protector. On his body he was wearing Rooster Neoprene Shorts for extra comfort and Pro hikers. It felt more like an Autumn regatta in North Wales rather than a Summer one.
