My husband, Dario Noseda, is a long-time sailor and for several years, together, we had a nautical and clothing shop on Lake Como.
There are countless times that we advised our customers in finding the right gift for their sailor friend or friend who couldn't do without the sea. In those years I learned a lot about the variety of people who populate the world of sailing and the characteristics of seafarers
When choosing gift ideas I was inspired by 10 "characters" with peculiar characteristics and I am sure that among these you will find a trait in common with the recipient of your gift:
Now that as true "profilers" we have identified the characteristics of the person to whom we will give the gift, let's discover the 10 perfect gift ideas for each profile
"Add a place at the table so that there is an extra friend" and with the sailing placemats, setting the table will be a game. Practical, unique and waterproof, suitable from breakfast to dinner. They take up little space (this is essential on a boat) and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Whoever takes care of the galley on board or at home will be happy to present his delicacies on a table like this. Can be combined with the new windproof baskets designed to keep napkins from flying away, you can find everything HERE
For sea lovers who want to immerse themselves in a world of salt water even while sitting on the sofa at home, I recommend SIRENE , it is not just a magazine, it is a story of seafarers for seafarers, immersive photographs, slices of life lived in water surface. Also very beautiful is the book edited by the director Alberto Coretti "Gente di Mare" where life at sea is told through the 5 senses.
If, however, the sailing enthusiast is always looking for news on the latest regattas, on new projects, on boat prices, then the right gift is a subscription to the "Giornale della Vela" , in paper and digital version so as not to miss out on the insights into nautical news
To not give up a sky of stars even when the temperature is cooler. A windproof blanket is perfect for the boat, evenings in the cockpit will be more pleasant, but you can also use it on the sofa at home and you will feel like you are on a boat lulled by the waves for a happier sleep. Made in 3 sizes: baby, perfect as a stroller blanket, outdoor and double to snuggle up together and listen to the sea.
Sea lovers are always ready to reach it, which is why the sailor's bag by definition is the perfect bag for a quick escape from the city or for a nice day at the seaside. Made with the iconic white sails, closed by a real nautical rope with a hand-stitched leather insert, they will make even the most stubborn earthlings a true sailor.
Bernard Moitessier is certainly the greatest representative of romantic sailing, anyone approaching the world of sailing will have read one of his books, but not everyone knows this wonderful book written by the wife of the well-known navigator. If the recipient of your gift is a man, it will be an opportunity to change his mind about the saying about women on board. If, however, it is a woman who will receive this gift, you will give her smiles and female solidarity. |
On a boat it is impossible to stay still, you are always rocking, which is why everything is blocked and secured. Dondo is an object holder that rocks, following the heeling of the boat, always seeking its center of gravity. It is called the "things holder" because it lends itself to many different uses: for ropes in the cockpit, for bathroom products, for magazines and even for a plant on the terrace. The Dondo is inspired by the clews of sails, with its ring and cord you can hang it anywhere
