Shorts. If it is too cold for shorts, thermal underwear. If it gets wet, add foulies.
Save the trousers for dinner ashore.

Lace and lycra. But never at the same time - that would be stupid. :-D

Ah; that's what they are. I meant to ask you who your tailor was
In relation to the OP: I thought you didn't wear trousers at all when you're sailing?
No - please, please don't reproduce That Photo again.............

I too had a pair of blue Canterburys - fantastic trousers. Nowadays I find that the mankini or less is sufficient.

Got to be red or shades thereof.

When I were a lad, sailing was a way of using up old clothes before binning them. Today it's Asda jeans @ £3.50 a pair.

Yep or similar from Tesco's!
Doesn't matter what you wear when you're on your boat because you'll still look cooler than people on dry land even if they're wearing Saville Row suits!

What I want to know is how those people manage to wear white trousers on a boat? As soon as I look at my boat my trousers become spattered with mud, have oily fingerprints and little bits of cotton hanging from various snags. What's the trick?

These blokes who wear these very baggy shorts and think they are super cool.
Do they know what they look like?
Do you think they would wear them if they were advertised as men's cullottes?

Craghoppers SolarDry unzippable trousers (the lower legs before anyone comments!). Provide good sun protection and as pointed out dry very quickly. Good pockets as well.

What any decent East Coast sailor would wear.
Wool serge trousers.
Along with matching jacket, braces, collar, tie.
Good for any time of the year . Salt stains unnoticeable.
Gets you in everywhere.

My bags.
Dickies work trousers, £12.00 or so for two pairs. Hard wearing and I sometimes wear them with knee pads inserted in the built in knee pad pockets, great for crawling along side decks. First sign of rain, off they come and on go my Gill mid layer shower proof salopettes.
What the heck are Canterburys? Have I missed something important in my life?

No wonder you are moored in a Bird Reserve.
