Hiring Oilskins

[alex_rogers]

Does anyone know of a company around the Solent that will hire out sets of oilskins? I know most charter companies will when you charter the boat, but I need to hire two sets for a weekend for some friends coming sailing on my own boat in November.

Well - Jimi is in that area - I'm sure a PM to him would release a set or two of his delicately fragranced garments

I would expect that sunsail might do this, or one of the other charter companies, as charters will not be as frequent in Nov.

Not sure what it might cost to hire a set, but I've bought Janet some Gill Key West oilies on ebay.. and they seem quite good.

Retail prices are around £150 Jacket £120 Trousers, but they sell for quite a bit less on ebay, new or 2nd hand.

I guess if you got a Womens size 14, and mens XL, you would probably cover most bases.

Just a thought

Yes, I can hire them out. PM sent

I've got some XL size foul weather bottoms for sale in the 'For Sale' section of the YBW forums. I thought they were worth £20, but no takers so far so I'm open to offers! Here is the link to the advert

An alternative might be cheap sets of oilies from Compass24 or similar.
