Grand Prix Shorts available in black, £178

Hellly Hansen's smart new Crew Insulator Jacket keeps you warm sailing upwind and looks just as good on shore. Seen here in washed navy €180.

Wrap it all up in Rooster's 50L Semi-Dry Duffel Bag, easily carried by backpack or shoulder straps and a very practical size. £75. Rooster's stand at Southampton Boat Show is offering great discounts across their ranges.
