I consider the Le Chameau Neptune boot to be THE very best cold ocean sailing boot in the world. Le Chameau are the Rolex or Rolls Royce of the boot world and the handmade Neptune rubber sailing boot is just great. It's warm (neoprene lined), dry (with built-in gaiters) and robust and hardwearing.
I'm replacing my boots with a new pair - so my trusty old boots, full of character and with about 60,000 sea miles under them, are now available for a new adventure. I'm sure they have another circumnavigation in them yet. Price New £315. Now just £99.

Very good condition and HALF PRICE: keeps you DRY and SAVE you MONEY! What you get:
I requested it and was sewn directly by Henry Lloyd in factory. Recommended by skippers, it's the most effective way to prevent undesired water to pass through collar/wrists in heavy weathers. 3 times more resistant than standard rubber collars and easy to maintain in the years (any diving centre can fix it).  Amazing Bose all weather speakers which played on deck during the 13/14 race with no problems whatsoever.
Wires (commonly available) not included. For collection only  In very good condition.
Warm and comfortable Henri Lloyd mid layer fleece that can be worn under small or medium sized foulies. Kept me warm on the North Pacific and hasn't been used since the race.

Never used pair of Dubarry Crosshaven sailing boots.
Bought these for Leg 3 of 17/18 Clipper race, but found that although I've had Dubarry boots( Ultimas) before, the Crosshavens we're a little tight, especially if you want to wear thick socks or two pairs of thin ones which I preferred. I would say they would be perfect for size 11 foot. PS I bought myself new Ultimas in the end..
This thing is awesome!
Weighs less than 1kg and packs right down to slightly larger than a wine bottle! Completely waterproof and very easy to get in and out of. I wore this on leg 6 and stayed completely dry. The others on the boat had their £900 Henri Lloyd dry suits and were green with envy as they struggled to get in and out of theirs and needed assistance to zip it up. This thing is a piece of cake. The collar and cuffs are un-cut so you can choose to leave them as they are, or cut them to fit you perfectly. The material is thin, and so I wore the foulies provided by clipper over the top when it was cold. Why buy a big expensive Drysuit and waste the clipper foulies? With this you use both! Zips from the top and the crotch area, so you can un-zip and have a wee quite easily… trust me that’s a massive win when you’re completely knackered during a tough shift. I cannot recommend this thing highly enough. It’s medium size – I’m 5.10 but it would comfortably fit a couple of inches either side. And it was roomy enough for me to have base layers a few t-shirts, a jumper and a jacket underneath. Excellent condition. Either cash on collection or I will post at no extra cost. £300. |
