Did you know that transat translates to deckchair?

Its a running joke in the mini transat fleet that “transat”, in French, not only means a transatlantic journey - but also translates into English as a deckchair (or beachchair).

I couldn’t let this pass by - so while launching my new sailing shop (selling sunglasses and sailing watches) - you can now buy yourself a nice deckchair too! (Visit the deckchair shop)

There is a serious point to all of this - each time someone buys a watch via this website one of my sponsors, IRT, will donate money directly towards my sailing. As we have most sailing watches that you would ever want - please do support me - hopefully you consider this a better cause than giving the profit to a chandlery! (You will save 10-15% on high street prices too - so we all win!)

With Christmas coming - why not buy a sailing watch - they make a perfect Christmas present for a sailor!
