There are numerous safety hazards on board - being hit by the boom for example - yet sailors are often reluctant to wear safety helmets as they can be heavy, uncomfortable and unattractive.
Our yachting caps incorporate a hard injection-moulded shell for protection and foam padding for comfort and they meet the requirements of EU Standard Specifications EN812 (similar to building site bump caps).
A large peak protects against bright sunshine and we also offer a narrow peak version to enable the helm to look up and see the wind indicator at the top of the mast.
For in-stock items despatched from our own warehouse, we offer three UK delivery options:
Standard UK Delivery: £4.99. On this service, goods will usually arrive within 14 days of your order reaching us, and often in less than 10. (Please remember that if you posted your order it may have taken up to five days to get here).
3-Day Delivery: £6.99. This is a three-working-day (not Saturday, Sunday, or Bank Holidays) service for UK mainland and Ulster addresses, provided that you order before 1pm. Orders received after 1pm will be processed on the next working day, so take one day longer to arrive. If you require an item to be personalised, your order will be delayed by one working day.
Express Delivery: £9.99. This is a next-working-day (not Saturday, Sunday, or Bank Holidays) service for UK mainland and Ulster addresses, provided that you order before 1pm. Orders received after 1pm will be processed on the next working day, so take one day longer to arrive. Service to Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight and other UK Islands takes two days. If you require an item to be personalised, your order will take an additional working day. Your package will arrive between 9am and 6pm (may be up to 8pm), and must be signed for on receipt, so please give an address where there will be somebody available to take delivery (perhaps a neighbour/friend, or your workplace if your employer permits this).
