Bought for 2023/24 Clipper Race, used on legs 3 & 6.
Good condition - latex wrist and neck seals unadjusted. Located in Hampshire, UK (same county as Portsmouth). Includes original stick of wax for the DYNAT zip fastener. Medium (173-178cm). Wrists 14cm, neck 30cm (both can be custom cut for larger wrist & neck).
The best sleeping bag for the harsh environment of the Clipper race. The only lovely cocoon to retreat to after a cold and wet watch. I used it at leg 2 and 3 of the last clipper race. Important that you stay dry and warm when all condensation in the boat rains down on you while sleeping .
Sleeping bag is like new, has been dry cleaned professionally and comes with compression straps and waterproof micro fleece pillowcase. PLEASE NOTE: This bag is made to measure and is therefore longer than the regular. 2,2m x 1m
Musto HPX gore tex ocean dry suit (large). Near new condition; worn only 5 times during Leg 6 (Northern Pacific) in 2022. Located in continental Europe, but can be shipped anywhere abroad.
Musto Ocean Racer boots UK size 7.5. Brand new/never worn & still in the box with labels on.
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!
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 Ocean Ranger gore tex boots size 10.5 UK.
Bought before the 23/24 race - used in training but not during the race so had very little wear.
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.
Top of the range Ocean Sleepwear bag, designed for the professional Volvo Ocean Race. It is larger than the mummy bag, with a rectangular base rather than mummy shape.
A great bit of kit. Fantastic for high cold latitudes Clipper RTW Yacht Race legs like legs 2, 3, 4, 6.
Warm and comfortable, the 100% waterproof fabric liner with fully taped seams keep a precious pillow dry. Quick drying microfleece outer layer provides a comfortable place to rest a weary head!
Great for laying a salty head upon - doesn't retain water or get damp! Fleece covered and waterproof. I used it for keeping by clean base layers in. It worked really well. 50cm x 70cm £36+ new. Save £££s
This is the rectangular (i.e. not the mummy) sleeping bag, originally designed for crew on the Volvo Ocean Race. Excellent condition.

Musto HPX Drysuit, size medium. Used a handful of watches in the Southern Ocean.
Great condition, for reference, in the Musto HPX Smocks and Salopettes I'm a large, but the medium drysuit fitted best. I'm 6' 1" (185cm) Located in Canada, happy to ship anywhere in the world with UPS at a good price. Will happily take a CAD payment as well.
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. |
