APS Soft Sided Coolers

APS Soft Sided Coolers Some people think that having sails, foulies, lines, etc. with them is important when it comes to racing... but really, who cares about those things? The only thing that really matters is keeping the "refreshments" cold.

With that fact in mind, we set out to create a great soft side cooler to handle all of your pre-race, post-race or heck, even during the race beverage and snacking needs. Available in three sizes, it's a ruggedly built cooler that provides robust thermal protection. All three sizes have a shoulder strap and a small, built in accessory pouch.

Gore-Tex Waterproof Socks by Rocky

Gore-Tex Waterproof Socks by Rocky Gore-Tex Waterproof Socks
Black/Gray
Sizes: 5 - 14, Men's (Whole Sizes Only)

Nobody ever liked getting socks for a gift... until now. Sure to be the favorite addition to your sailors gear bag, Gore-Tex Waterproof Socks by Rocky are 100% waterproof, durable and breathable, keeping water out and allowing foot perspiration to escape. A Lycra outer layer with Taslite insets in critical wear areas for abrasion resistance and long wear.

We sell the 13" socks that come up high on the leg for the best protection. Pair these with your favorite sailing shoes for the ultimate in wet shoe, dry foot comfort. Wear a non-cotton sock liner for even more comfort or an insulated boot sock for greater warmth.

Important Sizing Note:
Unlike a normal cotton sock that has a bit of elasticity built into the material, Gore-Tex has almost no give at all. To ensure that you can get the sock on, we highly recommend purchasing these socks one size larger than your normal foot size.

Additionally, if you are planning on pairing these socks with a warmer/bulkier sock, you might purchasing these socks two sizes larger than your normal foot size. Finally, if you have a half-size foot (say, a 10.5), round up one and a half sizes (to a 12, in this example).

Higher Performance Sailing

Higher Performance Sailing Higher Performance Sailing
By: Frank Bethwaite
512 Pages

Based on 25 years of research and Olympic coaching, Higher Performance Sailing reinvents the strategies of sailboat racing. It presents revolutionary explanations of wind prediction and boat design, a fundamental rethinking of how to sail a boat fast—literally faster than the wind. Bethwaite's theories boosted the average speed of the highest-performance sailboats from two-thirds the windspeed to windspeed or faster. Bethwaite is Australia's most successful Olympic coach, and his family includes three Olympic sailing champions and three world champions. This book will have a revolutionary impact on racing sailboats and the way they are sailed.

Sailing Knives and Multi-Tools

Myerchin Rigging and Safety Knives Kershaw Knives Leatherman Wave Multi-Tool Leatherman Skeletool Spyderco Saver Salt Knife

There's no better gift to give a sailor than the gift of safety -- ask any old salt about "essential" safety gear and they'll probably respond that no sailor should ever be without a good knife.

When it comes to straight up safety, we highly recommend the Myerchin or Kershaw knives. The Myerchin knives use 440 High-Carbon Stainless Steel and feature a 30/70 serrated blade (30% straight, 70% serrated) that is ready to cut through any line at a moments notice. The Kershaw knives are the perfect go-to pocket knife with their 420 High-Carbon Stainless Steel construction, solid edge retention, easy sharpening and excellent overall toughness.

When it comes to safety with utility, you can't beat the Leatherman Wave or Leatherman Skeletool. Both feature Stainless Steel blades to cut through any cordage while also featuring helpful tools like pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, etc. The Skeletool is a "necessary tools only" design while the Wave is designed to tackle any project with 18 different tools.

If you want a knife that will actually stand up to the title "rust proof", the Saver Salt is your way to go. Made with H-1 steel alloy, it literally can NOT rust. It's made of Nitrogen instead of Carbon, which is what reacts with Chloride to create rust. Serrated, it cuts well in and out of the water.

Lewmar OneTouch Winch Handle
Single Grip or Power Grip
8" and 10"

Despite its patented “one touch” lock-in mechanism, Lewmar’s OneTouch Winch Handle may not seem like the perfect gift... but a well executed tack is priceless and this winch handle can help that happen. The OneTouch aims to provide sailors with a powerful and easy-to-use handle that offers rapid and simple winch entry and exit.

The OneTouch handle uses a plunger pin and ball mechanism similar to that employed by the quick release steering wheels in Formula 1 racing cars. To insert, simply squeeze the handle and place it into the winch. To remove, squeeze and remove it all in one motion. Both operations can be performed one-handed.

The mechanism employs two pins that automatically retract into the bi-square when the handle arm is squeezed. These pins extend when the handle arm is released, and provide a secure lock preventing the handle from being inadvertently knocked out of the winch. Insertion or removal of the handle is now achieved in one quick and easy operation instead of fumbling with traditional bi-square locks.
