The Coastal Keelboat Vest by Salus Marine Wear

alt

The Coastal Keelboat Vest by Salus Marine Wear has just received Coast Guard approval for your sailing enjoyment this spring. The Coastal keelboat vest is inherently buoyant rather than being an inflatable, so it is actually lighter in weight and can provide safety and protection while sailing and racing.

The big news for keelboat sailors at all levels, is that The Coastal keelboat vest by Salus features a built-in harness, so you can tether yourself and you can adjust the harness as needed. The vest’s design uses round edges for comfort and maximum mobility around the decks plus, The Coastal has a Dri-Lex liner that is breathable for best comfort on hot days and during heavy racing.

Other features that make The Coastal uniquely comfortable are the high cut, large armholes for increased mobility, reflective patches for safety, two large cargo pockets and the fleece lined hand-warmer pockets will be greatly appreciated! Considering that it is both a harness and an approved PFD all-in-one, The Coastal keelboat vest represents a cost-saving as well as safety with maximum mobility.

Xtra-Large Carryall

Xtra-Large Carryall

There is never enough storage on most boats and carrying gear back and forth can be a hassle. A former sailor agreed and made a carryall that she used in her boating. It worked so well she is making them for other boaters. This expandable carryall is made of tough nylon net and webbing material and is surprisingly tough, yet it can swallow dozens of items. We found it really useful for life jackets, foul- weather gear and sea boots, for example. The maker claims she once put 24 life-jackets into hers and we can believe it. It measures 54” by 56” and is complete with a drawstring closure and carrying handles.

Beverage Container Does the Job and Gives Something Back

Beverage Container Does the Job and Gives Something Back

Inspired in 2008 on a beach in Hawaii by many beverage containers that were not doing a good job of keeping fluids cold on a hot day, Travis Rosbach began the process that lead to the creation of the first Hydro Flask, incorporating principles of vacuum insulation, safety (BPA-free), food grade stainless steel, a range of durable colours and a charitable arm called FivePercentBack.org.

A Hydro Flask is a reusable water bottle that truly performs in any environment.  It keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold.   Keeps your cold liquids cold for 24 hours, and your hot liquids hot for 12 hours.  Made from food grade 18/8 Stainless Steel, Hydro Flask stainless steel water bottles are safe and 100% BPA-free. 18/8 stainless steel is remarkably light, yet extremely durable.
