Wetsuits for All: Comfort and Performance in Every Stitch

A well-fitting wetsuit is one of the cornerstones of your sailing kit, providing warmth, flexibility, and protection from the elements. The range of Gill pursuit shorty wetsuits we supply offer something for every member of the crew:

• Gill Pursuit Shorty Men’s Wetsuit – Built with 3/2mm neoprene and flatlocked seams, this wetsuit balances comfort and performance beautifully. The stretch zones allow for unrestricted movement; perfect for active sailing and quick manoeuvres; while the glide skin neck seal helps prevent chafing. Whether you’re racing or cruising, it’s designed to keep you agile and warm.
  
• Gill Women’s Pursuit Shorty Wetsuit – Tailored to fit the female form, this wetsuit doesn’t compromise on features. It offers strategic panel placement for flexibility and warmth, ideal for those active on the helm or out on the trapeze. Stylish and practical, it ensures you feel great and perform your best.
  
• Gill Pursuit Junior Wetsuit – Starting young? This wetsuit is designed with aspiring sailors in mind. Lightweight, comfortable, and just as durable as the adult versions, it offers essential protection for kids taking their first steps into sailing. The junior version is crafted to keep them warm without restricting movement, so they can focus on having fun and learning new skills.
  

Protect Your Vision with Lumina Polarised Sunglasses

Glare from the water can be not only uncomfortable but dangerous, especially during long hours under the sun. That’s why our Lumina Polarised Sunglasses are a firm favourite among seasoned sailors.

These sunglasses combine UV400 protection with polarised lenses to reduce glare and improve visibility; perfect for spotting gusts, reading water conditions, and reducing eye fatigue. Their secure fit means they’ll stay put during tacks and jibes, and their stylish design makes them just as handy for après-sail.

Get Changed Without the Fuss: C-Monsta Changing Mat

After a long day on the water, getting changed can present an awkward challenge; especially in gravel car parks or sandy beaches. 

The C-Monsta Changing Mat solves that problem in seconds.

This robust, waterproof mat gives you a clean, dry place to change out of your wetsuit without dragging half the beach into your bag. Simply stand on it, strip off, and cinch it up to keep your wet gear contained. It’s ideal for day sailors, racers, and water sports enthusiasts who value convenience as much as they do performance.

Safety First: Gill Pro Racer Buoyancy Aid

We never compromise on safety and neither should you. That’s why we offer the Gill Pro Racer Buoyancy Aid, a lightweight and low-profile PFD designed specifically for dinghy and inshore sailing.

It provides essential buoyancy without restricting movement, making it ideal for both adults and juniors. Adjustable shoulders and waist ensure a snug fit, while the front zip and handy storage pocket add functionality. Whether you’re coaching, racing, or cruising, this buoyancy aid is your go-to for comfort and safety.
