Racing sailors who haven’t logged on to
SailNet in a while have probably missed the introduction of some new and useful products. Did you know that the SailNet Store now has Douglas Gill’s new Offshore GORE-TEX boots in stock? The latest in serious offshore footwear, these calf-high boots are not only snug and comfortable, they offer a better grip on decks than almost any other marine tread available.
Cockpit crew out there might want to know that with just a click of the mouse in the SailNet Store they can now get themselves a new Viper—the popular carbon-fiber winch handle from Titan. Also ideal for the denizens of the cockpit, SailNet stocks Tylaska’s J-lock shackles for jib sheets in two sizes, along with Tylaska’s trigger release shackles as well.
And three other new products at SailNet will provide some strong assistance for the tacticians in the crowd: the new Voyager Tactician’s Compass from Ritchie, Weems and Plath’s Tactician’s Calculator, and ICOM’s Command Remote Mic. The Voyager Tactician’s Compass is a simple way to ensure that you’re picking lay lines accurately and keeping track of the shifts upwind and down, and the Tactician’s Calculator from Weems and Plath can help confirm the any decisions made by the strategist on board. With the remote Command Mic from ICOM wired into the cockpit near the helm, you’ll never miss another individual recall again. Of course the other big advantage is having a VHF radio handy so that you don’t have to leave the helm to call the marina on your way in. And when you’re moored securely and ready to go ashore, the Command Mic simply unplugs for easy stowage down below.
These and other useful products can help you gain an edge on the racecourse, so have a look at the SailNet Store (www.sailnet.com/store
