​Valuable piece of kit I was very happy to have as a RTWer on the 23/24 race, kept me dry and warm on the coldest nights.

It’s used but in fine operating condition - I’d keep and use it again, but don’t expect to be in those conditions again.

I’m located in the USA and am happy to  ship anywhere - shipping cost not included, since that’ll depend on shipping destination.

Asking  $675 USD (roughly 500 GBP) or best offer. Happy also to answer questions about the Clipper experience, kit, etc.   Thanks and fair winds!

Brand New Musto “GORE-TEX OCEAN RACER” Boots Size 11

24/5/2025

 
Picture

These are Musto’s Ocean Racer boots in UK size 11/ US 12/EU 45.5. They’re brand new, as you can see by the tread. They’ve never been worn and still have the label on. I got them from my previous employer but never wore them as I already had a pair. The box was thrown out because it was too big to store but they’ve been stored with my other sailing kit since then and are in the same condition as when I first got them.

SMALL CAVEAT! I work in Gosport so I can leave them in the Clipper Training Office with your name on and you can collect them then. I don’t want to have to post them because, as I said, I don’t have the box.

Musto top of their range goretex dry suit - with waist zipper.
Easy to get into which means you’ll wear it even when the boat is banging about as you try to get ready.

Worn most watches across the Southern Ocean but only a few times across the North Pacific.
I’m 6”1’, 90kg and and a 16” neck.

All seals are good, the feet are not worn and minimal wear. Additional knee pads fitted - can be taken out but you’d probably want to keep them.

Musto HPX Gore-Tex Pro Ocean Racing Drysuits. XL-Reg

18/5/2025

 
Picture
Picture

​The tippy top o the line ocean racing drysuit. Worn across the Southern Ocean and Northern Pacific in the Clipper Race. Musto’s newest design.


In perfect condition. Water tested and zero leaks of pin holes. Freshly washed with Nikwax. Seals treated with 303. Seals were not cut down and are factory opening size. No damage. Virtually new.

XL-reg. $3000 retail price.    Asking $1800 or best offer.


For reference, I’m 5’10”/177cm and 200lbs/90kg. It fit very well, but you shouldn’t be any shorter than me.  A few inches taller would be ideal.  I had room for all the layers underneath.

Custom made super knee pads made life so much better.

If you’re doing a cold leg on the upcoming Clipper race, this is some of the best money you’ll spend. Additionally, this waist zip design is far superior to the over shoulder zip and worth the extra money over that model.

Willing to ship anywhere in the world as long as you make the arrangements and just send me a shipping label.

volvo Ocean sleeping bag (top of range) rectangular

This is the rectangular (i.e. not the mummy) sleeping bag, originally designed for crew on the Volvo Ocean Race. Excellent condition. Robust, well-designed and renowned amongst serious offshore yacht race crews. A must-have for high latitude sailing. Warm, dry and sturdy.
​

DESCRIBED BY CAPE WILD AS FOLLOWS;

While designed for the pipe-cots of Ocean racing boats this Volvo Ocean Race sleeping bag can be used equally well for sleeping on a pile of wet sails!  It is large, rectangular and waterproof. All layers are independently removable for maximum flexibility.

Shape, Size and Construction: Large Rectangular shape with full-length 2-way separating zippers that allow the sleeping bag to open out flat to become a bunk blanket or just open at the foot to allow air to yor feet! This bag is designed for crew to get right down into, it has a fully close-able overlapping head and an elasticated drawstring to keep the flap in place. Its 2m length allow most crew to get right down inside.

Waterproof Breathable Outer Shell: Waterproof breathable 4oz Exeat fabric outer layer provides a tough and durable barrier to moisture. Treated with a breathable fluorocarbon coating and fully tape-sealed to prevent wicking through stitch holes. The VOR bag has a full length storm flap to prevent water ingress through the zip, velcro prevents water getting close.


Full-length Non-Lock zips: Large No10 coil zips for their strength and reliability, with non-lock zippers and layers designed to work together means rapid entry and exit, no tangled layers. The zips, protected by a storm flap on the outer shell, can be opened both top and bottom to let your feet breathe.

Outer Fibre-pile Insulation Layers: 2x layers of 10mm dense weave fibre-pile providing a luxurious feel while keeping an insulation layer of air next to the skin. Generous 10cm shoulder baffle to reduce heat loss.
​
Inner Microfleece Insulation: This is light and cosy for warmer climates. The layers are added to and stripped from the inside of the bags. Given the hot-cold-hot VOR route, the microfleece layer lies next to the outer shell.

While salt water environments are notoriously harsh a Volvo Ocean Race Sleeping Bag can be expected to have a very long life with some simple maintenance and care.

Breathable Oilskins (3XL)

The jacket and overalls are ocean-quality, made from breathable material with a lining. They are ideal for ocean sailing. They are size 3 XL and very comfortable to wear. The hood is integrated into the jacket and has a drawcord for a comfortable fit around the face. The high collar also protects the wearer.

I've used these garments for sailing in the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay and have always found them warm, waterproof and, thanks to the breathable fabric, they don't make me sweat.

OCEAN SLEEPWEAR SLEEPING BAG

28/3/2025

Waterproof Breathable Shell:
4oz Exeat Fabric is a tough, durable and waterproof direct-coated hydrophilic, breathable polyurethane. This fabric permits water vapour to pass through the fabric from the body-side to the outside so keeping the inside of the sleeping bag and the insulation layers comfortable and dry. Exeat fabric has been one of the top fabrics for high reliability performance for over 15 years and has been continuously improved over that time. Exeat Fabrics have been independently tested and conform to EN343 for resistance to water penetration and breathability.
Fibre-pile Insulation:
Polyester fibre-pile pile. It is warm to the touch, it is equally warm when wet, and as the fibres do not absorb water, for insulating material it dries very quickly. It also resists mould - which is an issue with the inevitable build up of condensation.
YKK full-length burstable zips
All zips on our bags are YKK coil for their strength and reliability. The main zips are YKK No10 coil with non-lock zippers.

Poly-cotton:
We use polycotton for the pillowcase in the original Ocean Sleepwear sleeping bag. It is comfortable, and can be quickly washed and dried, stopping the build up of salt from wet hair.
