More Info
Many sailors outgrow clothing items over the years, so you may be able to find some used gear. Message on Team-Snap the item and sizing you are looking for. Longship Marine in Poulsbo also sells gently used gear.
​
Also ask any family with a seasoned sailor or Coach and they will be happy to help you figure out your gear needs.​​
