It’s a KNOCKAROUND Sunglasses kind of a day… finally! One size fits all at a $40 price that’s hard to beat. If you’re like us and prone to losing your sunglasses overboard, the Premiums in Black Smoke could be the answer. The rubberized nose pads help keep them on your face - but that won’t help you when you leave them on the roof of your car. Drop by, or grab a pair or two online. 😎

Who doesn’t love a stretchy, lightweight, long sleeve layer? Apparently everyone as we only have a few ZHIK XWR Performance Long Sleeves left in men’s XXL. Grab yours before Chris does. 😉

One thing we took away from the recent Opti event - aside from marveling at the maturity and dedication shown by the young sailors was - how did we ever survive in damp wool or a soaking wet cotton sweatshirt handed down by our brother? Not to sound like ancient relics or anything, but clothing technology has come a long way since terry cloth.
Take for instance the ZHIK Tech Hoodie that delivers a combination of “ultra-warm fleece and waterproof 3-layer fabric for adaptable performance. Infused with classic Zhik DNA, the hoodie has streamlined features and an active fit plus 3-layer panelling in the hood and upper sleeves that prevents wind and water spray from entering the jacket in these critical areas, while the internal fleece aids body warmth and allows body moisture to evaporate during rigorous activity.” Their words, not ours. We’re still shivering from that Wednesday night race back in 1982. Anyway… we’re happily up to the gunnels in incredible ZHIK technical clothing in great colours for men and women - online and in our Halifax store. Come on by.

Some boats just make you smile. The Binnacle is here to make your experience out on the water a happy one - whether you’re going for gold or a sunset cruise. We saw this little Chester cutie floating around looking for a picnic… and a new captain.

What the (warm) cool kids are wearing out there. ZHIK’s Junior Neoprene Steamer is perfect for days like today, taking 4-way stretch and insulating neoprene to the races. The sailors will appreciate the soft, inner fleece lining as they try to out maneuver their way to the top in cool, gusty winds. Halifax weather always makes for interesting sailing! Grab a Steamer in Junior sizes 8 to 14 online, or at our location on Purcells Cove Road.
