Gill Pro Glove

Gill Redesigns Its Sailing Gloves

Visually, they may look about the same, but there have been some cool changes at hand in the Gill line of performance sailing gloves. We got a chance to check out three of their top sellers—the championship, pro and helmsman gloves, all in long-fingered models. Here’s what we found.

Navigator’s Jacket

Gill’s Triple Play

We recently got to check out three new products from Gill—the Navigator’s Jacket, the Waterproof Beanie and the Millbrook Zip Tee, and when combined, we were feeling warm and fast.

Best Sailing Gloves for Serious Sailors

As the most ubiquitous piece of sailing gear (aside from a PFD, of course), the sailing glove of today is a highly designed and engineered thing of beauty. Here’s a look at the latest reviews and offerings in rope-holding and palm protection.

FireCell wetsuit

Wet-Suited for High-Performance Sailing

There are skiff suits, and then there are skiff suits. Gill Marine’s new cold-weather FireCell Skiff Suit and FireCell top are in the latter category, as they’re well beyond basic neoprene kit.

Sail Insight

The Intelligent Race Tracker App

In a press release issued today, SAP SE and partner Sailing Yacht Research Foundation announce the launch of Sail Insight, a new mobile app designed for the global sailing community.

ACR Electronics ResQFlare

A Safe Distress Flare Alternative

We learn at a young age the dangers of playing with fire, and pyrotechnic safety flares certainly fall into the category, especially if used improperly. A new, safer alternative released from ACR Electronics—the ResQFlare—is now available with a one-time purchase of the new high intensity LED electronic distress flare and accompanying daytime flag.

Velocitek ProStart

The Trusty ProStart, Improved

Velocitek’s updated ProStart unit provides racing sailors accurate GPS-based technology for more accurate starts and compass functions.

Cobra HH600 VHF

A Perfect Handheld VHF

Small, powerful, and loaded with features, the Cobra HH600 floating VHF is ideal for raceboats large and small.
