Volvo Ocean Race Sleeping Bag in yellow. Size regular.
This is the best ocean wear offer, this is not the cheaper mummy bag but the much more expensive and warmer rectangular version. It also can be opened out like a large blanket. See the cape wild website for full details https://www.capewild.com/product/volvo-ocean-race-sleeping-bag/?attribute_pa_colour=red&attribute_pa_size=regular I bought this bag for a trip that unfortunately never happened, it has never been used and is as new. To buy from cape wild they are £400 but with shipping and tax to the uk they are actually £462. Grab a bargain asking £300 plus £10 postage to the uk. Also welcome collection, located Plymouth or Torquay, Devon. Any questions just ask and I can provide more pictures if needed.
The CORDURA® upper and gaiter ensures outstanding durability. Areas prone to abrasion damage have also been reinforced with scratch rubber for complete protection.
GripDeck rubber and a GripFlex tread to the sole supplies exceptional, multi-directional traction on deck. And a unique DynamicFit bellowed tongue and bungee lacing system provides a locked-down, comfort fit. Extremely tough yet these boots feel lightweight on the feet allowing you to move around with ease. Along with being brilliantly breathable, your feet are well insulated from cold water, resulting in a versatile boot loved by the best offshore sailors in the world.
Item is cleaned, very good condition, used on Leg 6.of the 2023/2024 Clipper Race.
Exceptionally durable, peerlessly waterproof and an improved fit supplies enhanced comfort and resilience in the worst conditions on the planet. This HPX GORE-TEX® Ocean Drysuit provides 2-3 hours of survival time in 5°C water. The toughest GORE-TEX® Pro fabric with Ocean Technology® supplies complete waterproof protection and maximum breathability. Increase insulation by using the oral inflation straw while a heavy-duty Dynat® zip, latex neck and wrist seals and GORE-TEX® boots create a watertight barrier. Photoluminescent reflectors and a fluorescent rollaway GORE-TEX® hood keep you visible in low light.
High performance salopettes typically worn between the layers for comfort and warmth. A GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER™ outer shell and PrimaLoft® GOLD Active insulation combine to form a perfect barrier against wet wind chill, with built in stretch shoulders and articulated knees for optimised mobility.
Reinforced seat and knee panels deliver durability, while the open chest pocket is perfect for warming up your hands. The 2-way front centre zip and a drop seat zip around the waist, enable easy access for your convenience. Excellent condition. They do have my initials on them.
Used Musto HPX Drysuit 2022 edition with metal zipper.
Owned by RTWer but only used on the coldest and wettest days in Leg 3 and a handful of times on Leg 6 (it was relatively warm! Too warm for a drysuit. Hopefully you’ll be as lucky). I have submerged myself in the Boogie Hole of Newcastle Australia dressed in it. You really can float in it! People in bikinis and shorts last maybe 10-20mins in the cold water. I only got out after 1 hour because I had to find a bathroom. Diligent and motivated to avoid bad smells. Suit was kept hanging if wet. Dried if weather permitted. Inside was largely dry except for condensation (wear wool and waterproof socks to stay skin dry). Drysuit was rinsed well with water and hung to air dry if used after a Leg. Made sure to ensure zipper was rinsed well of salt before waxing. Otherwise, it was tucked away in a dry bag, within another giant dry bag. Bags also for sale! Rubber neck did start a microtear under the chin which I trimmed on Leg 6. Sent it to Hammond Drysuit and technician said I did a good job but recommended to trim to neck circumference which they did for me. Rubber cuffs are fine. Reflective band on left wrist is missing and on left shoulder is peeling.. Name printed with reflective writing on back. Based in the Hampshire but able to lug to Boston on occasions. Pick up is free.  Musto Offshore sailing boots, used for a brand photoshoot onboard. Soles and boots in excellent condition. Came direct from Musto and their RRP is £375. Priced to sell as clearing out gear for space! Happy to send as a bundle with the other items I have listed. Please don’t hesitate to email or call if you have any questions ( +44 7542682509)
New style, Bought directly from Musto for £2300, selling at a reduced price as it has had several wears. Seals watertight and have not been cut so you can fit it to your size. Foot grips 100%. Comes with a spare neck seal I got from a musto representative in Australia, should you want an entirely new neck seal., or change to neoprene for comfort as many do. Small cloth used to hook on the back had broken, could be easily stitched but I preferred to hook it using the mid point hook instead.
