Do people actually sail in that rubberized fisherman's rain gear? They look pretty ungainly and uncomfortable. No Velcro at the cuffs? How do you keep the water out? No fabric at the collar? How do you keep from rubbing your neck raw? No pockets to store glasses, hats, survival radio, etc? To each his own, I guess. I wear my foulies 20+ days a year so comfort and mobility is pretty important to me. At over a hundred dollars, they aren't that cheap either. Do you also wear the orange horse collar type PFD to cut down on expenses too?

Note on foulie care: Rinsing them off with fresh water before the salt stains set in will keep them water repellant much longer. When they get really trashed, I'll soak them in the tub at home with woolite.
