Mr. S and I bought our first sailboat back around 1985. It was a 27′ O’Day with a cuddy cabin that slept four. It was the perfect boat for our small family and looking back, I miss spending our mornings enjoying coffee on the deck and going out for an afternoon sail to Newport or one of the smaller islands in RI (like Patience and Prudence).
Back then we’d throw everything into a couple large stiff sailcloth boat totes and hope for the best. One of my biggest complaints (aside from having to clean the boat at the end of the day), was that the totes were cumbersome, stiff and very difficult to carry.
Imagine my delight to find that I no longer have to lug around these old heavy totes. Sailor Bags makes sailing bags (totes, duffels, and more) that are not only functional, but they leave out all of the resins that create those overly stiff bags and make them softer, durable and WATERPROOF. .I LOVE the fact that they’re MUCH lighter weight as well. Did I mention that they’re ATTRACTIVE? My readers know that I’m a HUGE proponent of form PLUS function and Sailor Bags have been able to fuse a wonderfully practical bag that will keep all of your belongings dry whether you’re trimming the sails, or just spending a day at the beach with the kids. .
I’ve actually taken to using my Sailor Bags Messenger Bag (at $59 – this is a HUGE bargain) not only for toting my laptop around, but also as a handbag! As you can see, I LOVE the pockets for keeping my cell phone, keys, and makeup, organized and easy to grab. Their bags come in RED, WHITE or BLUE sailcloth and
I just LOVE finding wonderful fashionable items at the most unexpected places. A handbag from your local Ship’s Store or DIRECTLY from Sailor Bags (shipping is only $2.99 per order) to complete your summer nautical look? Absolutely!
