Point Loma Outfitting - sailing clothing, outdoor performance wear, foul weather gear in San Diego

After a postponement of a couple of hours the 261 boat fleet is off the docks and heading to their respective courses. A cold front came through early Sunday morning making practise yesterday very wet due to winds in the mid to high twenties. Here in the SLAM booth things were quite active. Sunday’s sales surpassed last year more than 25%, with the RC Spray Top and Racing Evolution Long Johns being the big sellers. Of course a little bad weather always boosts gear sales, and last year it was warm and dry the whole week.

Watching all of the crews yesterday and this morning it amazes me just how popular SLAM sailing gear has become in just the two years it has been available in the US. I had imagined that their technical sailing gear would be widely accepted due to the continued effort to push innovation. What is surprising is how well their sportswear is also accepted!

I will try to post something later today, or early tomoorw regarding the results for today. I expect there will be a lot of tired crews, and hopfully not too much carnage!
