Rooster Sailing
Rooster Sailing are kindly supporting Yodare by supplying my clothing kit for the trip. I’ve always been a user of their products as they are designed with lots of thought and experience of dinghy sailing. The layering system really keeps me warm and dry, whilst still offering the flexibility needed for sailing such a small dinghy. On my Race To Scotland trip their kit was awesome, keeping me warm and dry in some horrible conditions.

SOLRX have kindly supplied me with sunscreen for the trip. It is long-lasting, water resistant so perfect for staying on no matter how much spray or rain, sweat resistant so it won’t run into my eyes and the Zinc formula is ocean friendly and acts as a reflector to the suns UV rays.
