Nautics' Stocking Stuffer #16

Sailing sneakers at first glance seem a bit limp-wristed. I knew these dudes who wore them and they also drank beer mixed with Sprite. . . that was a long time ago and I am just getting over it. However when the action is on, whether having to switch sails in a race, make a cast from the bow in heavy seas, or realize your cocktail is seconds away from falling overboard, you want to make sure you are are sure-footed. Helly Hansen are not shoe-makers as much as outerwear experts, but these shoes will keep you on deck, last several seasons and not send a "Let's have a Wine Spitzer Boys!" vibe to everyone in your harbor.
