APS Spring 2012 : Page 28BUOY RACING Whether it’s a weeknight “beer can” race, one design keelboat racing, or the America’s Cup, “buoy racing” is the most common of racing formats. Typically taking place on protected inshore or nearshore courses, gear in this category is designed with the athletic keelboat sailor in mind. This gear features lightweight, highly breathable fabrics, athletic cuts, and relatively minimalistic features so as to not encumber a sailor’s ability to get from rail to rail quickly. It also features significant protection against wind, spray, or the occasional squall. Buoy racing is often done with a team. Show some team unity and get yourself some team gear. Items on these pages like this MPX Race smock are great options and can be customized with high tech vinyl a pplic ations or traditional embroidery. For more information, check out page 4 and 5 or visit us online for videos about decoration possibilities. We can’t say enough about how great the Musto MPX Gore-Tex® Race Collection is. It is worn by more APS staffers than any other piece of gear we sell. We love and it we’re sure you will too. The durability of Gore-Tex® Pro Shell combined with Musto’s keen attention to detail ensure this gear will truly be with you for the long haul. Frills are kept to an absolute minimum so the MPX Race line is lightweight. Gore-Tex® stretch panels across the back of the shoulders and elbows ensure you stay agile. The short jacket lets you move more freely and pairs perfectly with the salopettes for full length coverage. The smock is the ultimate word in dinghy smocks while the latex seal smock provides extra protection for those windy sail changes up on the bow. This gear will serve you well racing ‘round the cans but has the pedigree to take you from Newport to Bermuda too. Atlantis Resolute is made from a durable 3-layer laminate fabric that is lightweight, waterproof and breathable. Two-way stretch gives you freedom of movement no matter how active your sailing. Complete with PU double tab adjustable cuffs, it’s more than just your average jacket. Microfleece-lined collar for a better feel and neck and waist drawcords for a better fit when the weather deterioriates. The jacket is one of our lightest weight pieces and will pack away easily. This will become your four season favorite for day racing both inshore and off. MPX Gore-Tex Race Jacket, Smock, Dry Smock, and Salopettes MSSM002 Jacket MSSM001 Salopettes Black, Platinum, or Red.
