GIll OS Performance Jacket
Engineered for versatility and performance, Gill’s new OS Performance Jacket is designed to meet the dynamic demands of coastal and offshore sailing, and is ideal for the Pacific Northwest mariner. Featuring a smooth-faced thermal fleece and four-way stretch fabric, it delivers essential warmth and wind resistance without sacrificing mobility—perfect for layering under a shell or wearing on its own in milder conditions. Underarm paneling allows for unrestricted movement during active maneuvers, while zippered hand and chest pockets provide secure storage for essentials on the water. A reversed coil YKK® zipper with an inner chin guard enhances comfort and durability, and stretch binding at the collar, cuffs, and hem ensures a snug fit that helps retain heat. Whether you’re grinding through an upwind leg or trimming sails on a brisk morning, the OS Performance Jacket delivers when needed.

SeldÉn CXr Furler
Fifteen years ago, Seldén broke new ground by introducing their CX and GX furlers for Code Zero and flying downwind sails. Now, their second generation of furlers, called CXr, is enhanced with several new features of which a patented ratchet design stands out. The ratchet mechanism prevents the sail from unfurling unintentionally and must be unlocked to furl the sail out. To do this, you make a short and distinct pull on the furling line in the same direction as the direction you want the drum to spin. Then, simply pull on the sheet and the drum will spin freely and let the sail out. Furling a large top-down sail can be physically demanding, but with Seldén’s ratchet system, you can pause midway without any issues. The ratchet is strong enough to hold the load and resist the torque from the sail and it automatically works in both directions. Another essential improvement is a springloaded captive pin to easily engage the swivels to the sail.
