When you spend a reasonable amount of money on your sailing kit looking after it makes sense and can make it last longer keeping you protected for longer.
Here are 5 ways we recommend for making your sailing kit last longer.
After you have finished using your sailing kit for the day dunk in a bucket with clean, cold and freshwater to remove any salt, dirt and grit. Do not use hot water as it can decrease the flexibility and longevity of the neoprene. Furthermore, we recommend you do not use any cleaning chemicals as some harsh chemicals can start to eat away at the neoprene and stitching over time.
This might seem counterproductive for getting your wetsuit dry but it is so you don't damage the shoulders of your wetsuit. A wet wetsuit is very heavy and leaving it hanging for long periods will stretch the shoulders and push the wetsuit out of shape.
You'll have to ensure you rotate your wetsuit as it dries to make sure it dries in all areas but this will save your wetsuit and keep it in shape for that perfect fit.
UV rays can damage the neoprene affecting the structural integrity and making it age over time. Drying your wetsuit in the shade will protect the neoprene from going hard and being prone to tearing when in action on the water.
We've all opened our kit bag and had various items stuck together. Velcro is strong and sticks to a lot of things, usually the wrong thing... If it does stick to the inside of your wetsuit it could cause damage. If you re-attach your velcro and secure the zips to where they should be it lowers the chance of them catching on other parts of your sailing clothing and causing damage.
Leaving your sailing kit in a bag after a long weekend on the water may not seem so bad but leaving it screwed up and wet can lead to it beginning to smell and could even cause bacteria to grow and metal zips to go rusty.
Rinse your kit as soon as you can after taking it off, only leave your stuff in the bag for the journey home and hang the items up to dry as soon as possible.
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
