Bob,
What's the beef with Goretex? In my previous life in mechanical contracting,
I spent many hours on commercial /industial rooftops wearing a t-shirt under
a Goretex/Thinsulate coat from Cabelas. In one memorable experience, after
12 hours in a cold, driving rain, I was still warm and dry in my t-shirt. My
only complaint was that once it got dirty, it was hard to recapture its
original efficacy.

Avoid Goretex.

Hi all,
I've been invited to crew on a 31' mono on the weekend for some
offshore racing near sydney. Last couple of times i went out on monos
in new zealand i wore what i wear on my boat (small catamaran) which is
a 3mm wetsuit and booties. The rest of the crew had a good laugh at my
expense until the weather turned to poo and no-one had any foulies. I
was smiling the rest of the day while most were shivering.

what do people wear on these boats? does everyone just wear normal
clothes (jeans/shirts?) and have a pair of foulies to wear on top? Id
rather be warm and look silly than the other way around.... any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Shaun
