I will be at ZKO by the end of January and I would like to take the opportunity to look around for a 'sailing suit' (I hope this is the right name). What I'm looking for is a one or two piece waterproof suit, with floating capacity (built-in life jacket), insulation, lifelinehooks, rain cap, leg and arm straps, etc... Do you know of any shops in the surroundings of Nashua or Boston who are selling this type of equipment? I've been visiting some shopping malls in the past but since I was not specifically looking for sailing equipment I do not recall having seen any of them. Any good addresses available? Also any idea of the prices? Thanks, Nand.

| 2095.1 | Some options | STAR::KENNEY | Mon Nov 01 1993 11:25 | 16 | |
Lots of choices but none in the immediate Nashua Area. Places that
come to mind are:
1) Marine Exchange in Peabody Ma.
2) West Marine in Peabody Ma.
3) Boat U.S. Waltham Ma.
4) Team One in Newport big selection but a long trip to Newport
R.I. But if you have never been to Newport it may be worth
the trip. OK, maybe not as nice in January as in June but still
an interesting place to visit.
5) Marine Speculators in Salem (not sure this is the correct name).
They had great prices but I had to make several trips to find
the suit I wanted that also fit.

Thanks. No problem with a little trip to Salem and surroundings. Let's hope these shops stay open during the winter season. Thanks for the pointers, Nand. | |||||

Nand,
Marine Exchange, Boats/ US and West Marine definately stay open during the
off-season. Boats/ US and West are open evenings and weekends, Marine
Exchange is open at least Saturday. I don't know about the store in
Newport.
Marine Speculator has moved across the bridge from Salem to Beverly,
and they have always been open on Saturdays. During the peak season
they're open Sundays.
phone numbers for Marine Exchange 508-535-3212
Marine Speculator 508-927-9947
West Marine and Boats/US numbers are not in my NYNEX
Boater's Yellow pages.
