I need a bag...

[merlin2375]

My gear has outgrown my daysailing bag. The bag I had was tiny anyways as I was trying to carry the minimum but the time has now come to go a little bit bigger as I literally can't get my jacket, pants, and PFD into this bag.

I see Gill makes some bags but they are expensive. Does anyone have any ideas for cheaper alternatives? I need a bag that is waterproof (at least on the bottom) as there is often water rolling around on the ground when racing.

Thanks any help appreciated!

Merlin-

Try this.

Thanks Dog, I may head over to REI to see what they have today. The skipper I raced with last night had a jumbo dry bag like that. The ONLY downside I see is that there aren't pockets for different things so everything is a mish mosh!

Thanks for the idea, others?

NRS/others also make dry duffles for a little more $. (www.nrsweb.com). I use my for kayak camping. I little more roomy and easier to load. Small or Medium will handle most daysailing stuff easily.

Here is a direct link Dry Duffles.

Well, what do you want for less than $20??? You could always put your current bag inside this one to act as pockets...it would probably fit.

Haha, yeah I know it. $20 for anything sailing related is a steal. I may get one of these for racing and a different bag for daysailing
