Don't wear gloves, couldn't see how to indicate that, so "less than £5" and "5 seasons or more".

Gloves........surely not needed on the south coast, did'nt think it got that cold.......or are they for protecting your delicate skin??
Real sailors just knock lumps out of their hands....it comes with the sport.

One of the past second Coxswains at Troon Lifeboat "Titch Devenny" had to stand on a fish box at the fly bridge helm position on the Arrun class to see over the top!!!!!!

Re: It\'s a myth
that your hard if you don't wear gloves. What you are are is somebody with cold hands. I've known some hard blokes in my time but I can't think of any of them that thought that having cold hands added to their hardness. Except Toon's of course.
I own many pairs of sailing gloves. I favour the fore finger and thumb, cut away type. I also have the luxury of owning a pair of Musto Lobster Mitts. Real Southern Ocean stuff.
I don't wear gloves very often, I usually lend them to the office working nancy boys that want to enjoy the sailing experience without frightening their manicurists, but I soon dig them out if I've got cold hands or if I'm bleeding onto the sails.

Re: Real sailors just knock lumps out of their hands....
You Troon guys must be dead rufty-tufty. Must say, I sometimes lift the anchor chain without gloves, but usually regret it, after cuts, abrasions and jelly fish stings.
Am I a wimp? Or just one of Peppermint's "office working nancy boys".
