Christmas Gift Ideas For Sailors
- Thread starter Rick R.
- Start date
My son works at a well known but not well loved national marine hardware store chain, which is very nice for moi around this time of year especially. Here are a few thoughts:
good flashlights (always needed, short lift on boats)
chart magnifying glass (because I can't read the little numbers anymore)
spf shirts (I just went to the dermatologist and got reprimanded)
And, does anyone have the contact for the t-shirt/hat place people seem to use most?

I have no idea how much you want to spend, but I can add to the list if required. Thanx
I have already picked out my card for you.
They've probably read "Alone Around the World" by Slocum.
A wonderful companion is Victor Slocum's biography of his father, a marvelous account of a dutiful son observing a very complicated man whose determination--and gamesmanship--caused him to play his life like a violin, or sometimes like a bull on a rope.

Money is no object for my sailing friends like you Tom!
Our boats are full of plugs. We all need a good plug-cutter and countersink bits. Cheap ones are no good and will make you wonder why jobs never come out quite right.

Funny thing Christian, I will be removing the trim under the fixed ports in the cabin to replace the vinyl above the bookshelves and I will need to replace the plugs that cover the screws!
Timely!
