harken zircon block

Harken Zircon Block Range

Could there possibly be a better block? We check in Harken engineer Matt Schmidt and Harken test pilot Ravi Parent to hear what makes the Harken Zircon Block range an efficient thing of beauty.

Changing the Change

Need a better changing system for getting dressed for sailing? Gill Marine has a good solution.

Helix Dry Suit

The Ultimate Women’s Drysuit

College sailing coach and Sunfish North American champion sailor Amanda Callahan tests and reviews Mustang Survival’s Women’s Helix Dry Suit. Two thumbs up.

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.

Sailing gloves

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.
