Protecting Heads and Hands

Hard caps
In strong breezes such as week’s, booms present a hazard to our heads. Helmets help, but they tend to be bulky and uncomfortable. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been sailing in a Booma cap. Its got a hard liner to protect your noggin, but it fits and looks like a normal baseball cap.
These caps are currently being sold on Amazon, but they can do a better bulk deal for DBSC sailors at $25 per cap. Ideally they get purchased in bulk and they will be delivered directly. One drawback is they come in only one size, so it is not suitable for people with large heads (but it fits mine fine and I suggest it’s ok for 95% of us). It comes in every colour you can imagine, so long as your imagination is limited to blue.
If you are interested, email Luke@sellparker.com.au and I’ll pass the list to Phil to coordinate.
Gloves
For any DBSC handmodels concerned about the wear and tear the mainsheet is imposing on your your money makers, Jules Hall recommends the decent quality, very affordable “All Purpose Handyman” (apologies to the ladies) from glovesales.com.au.
