Clothing from Gill
On the Miscellaneous page you'll now find various articles of Gill sailing clothing. Take a browse around but please someone, purchase the size 10 Coast Sport Jacket pretty sharpish, because my sister Gill - yes her real name - has made a closer than usual inspection and covets this particularly well-made and comfortable item. Her birthday's coming up and I'm under pressure to oblige her...!
Well, what can you say?
Daft as it sounds our most regular selling item is hinges. Don’t know why we put our experience and effort into selling anything else really! These are the waterproof, rustproof nylon hinges listed under ‘Miscellaneous’. You people out there buy them by the pair and you buy them by the hundred, with or without fixings. But there again they are unusual and very very useful for all sorts of applications. I suppose the number of uses that the general population can put a mainsheet jammer to is limited, but the market for a pair of durable weatherproof hinges is considerably wider! Still, shouldn’t complain. C’est la vie…
Recently DinghyBits took a stand at its first Boat Jumble. This was in Havant, near Southampton. Loads of interest, a good number of sales, and a chance to get our name about. Apart from the dinghy bits and pieces most excitement came from what we labelled as 'Bling' on the stand! This was the big boat stuff; well it was to be expected really. I've recently spent a day down on the Hamble so wasn't surprised when the cruiser guys (and gals) coveted the decent jewellery!
All-in-all a good day was had all round and we'll keep you posted as to when we're doing the next one.
