HISTORY

Sailing is one of the oldest and most environmentally friendly
modes of transport. Mankind has used the power of the wind
from very early on to quench his thirst for knowledge. But long
gone are the times when adventurers and explorers set sail
to discover new worlds and become heroes. The maps of the
world have lost their blank spots, and the fear of reaching the
end of the world has disappeared. Many sailors have found rest
in the deep waters of the ocean, many ships have sunk to the
sea bed, but some of the captains and sailors have become
heroes and are still remembered today. Who has not heard
of Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Sir Francis Drake,
James Cook, or Ferdinand Magellan?

Joshua Slocum was the first to complete a single-handed
circumnavigation in the time from 1895 to 1898.
Robin Knox-Johnston first made the trip single-handedly
and non-stop 1968–1969.
I]ZÃghildbVcidhjXXZhh[jaanX^gXjbcVk^\ViZi]Z\adWZ
was Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz from 1976 to 1978.
Kay Cottee was the first women to achieve a non-stop
circumnavigation in 1988.
RACE AROUND THE GLOBE
The journey around the globe still fascinates modern-day
explorers who keep trying to create new challenges and more
adventurous achievements. In 1973, the first successful ‘Race
around the Globe’ took place, sponsored by the Whitbread
Company. Since 2001, it is known as the ‘VOLVO Ocean Race’
and has established itself as the most challenging and adventurous sailing race in the world.

OTHER SAILING EVENTS
Apart from the VOLVO Ocean Race, there are other sailing
regattas of great reputation in the sailing world, the oldest
and most prestigious one being the America’s Cup.
CIRCUMNAVIGATION
In the case of Ferdinand Magellan, this fame is based on the
fact claim that he was the ﬁrst person to circumnavigate the
globe. This is not entirely correct, as he died ﬁghting natives
in the Philippines one year before the end of the journey. His
crew, however, completed the journey, circumnavigating the
world between 1519-1522. The adventurers of today are the
single-handed circumnavigators of the world.
America’s Cup: The ‘America's Cup’ is a challenge-based
competition where the previous winning yacht club sets the
rules and hosts the event. The race is often compared to
Formula 1 because of the many people involved, the huge
budgets, and the technology developed for the boats. There are
only two boats on the course at the same time, battling it out
against each other. This format is called match racing.
Transat: The ‘Transat’ is a race across the Atlantic
Ocean for single-handed sailors. It takes place between
Plymouth and Boston and is extremely challenging.
Transpac Race: The ‘Transpac Race’ has taken place
every two years since 1906 between the USA and Hawaii
and is one of the easier races.

Bermuda Race: The ‘Bermuda Race’, started in 1922, the
647nm lead from Newport (RI) to Hamilton (Bermudas).
Sydney – Hobart: The ‘Sydney-Hobart’ race was established in 1945. Although it is held in the summer on the
Southern hemisphere, participants can experience severe
conditions, which make it a very challenging race.
Fastnet Race: The ‘Fastnet Race’ starts in Cowes on the
Isle of Wight and leads 608nm round the Fastnet rock on
the south coast of Ireland. It takes place every two years
and has a long standing tradition.
Cowes Week: Every ambitious sailor has to be on the
Isle of Wight (UK) in August each year to be part of
‘Cowes Week’. Cowes is the sailing Mecca of the world, and
every true sailor has to take part at least once in a lifetime.
It first took place as early as 1826 and remains hugely
popular today.
Kiel Week: The first ‘Kiel Week' was held in 1892 in
Germany, and still takes place every year at the end of
June. It is the largest sailing event in the world, with more
than 5000 active sailors in different boat classes.
ARC-Rally: ' ARC-Rally’ is a challenging amateur race
across the Atlantic Ocean, starting at Gran Canaria and
finishing in St Lucia.
Copa del Rey: The ‘Copa del Rey’ takes place in Palma de
Mallorca, this event attracts the European regatta elite.
MODERN DAY SAILORS
PUMA SAILING CATEGORIES
The sailors of today have changed from being adventurers and
explorers to athletes and leisure time yachtsmen. There are
still sailors who make a living out of sailing in this day and age,
mostly professional athletes who compete in races and regattas all over the world. However, the great majority of sailors
are amateurs who sail in their leisure time and travel to regattas at the weekends. Some practice their sport very ambitiously and sail at Olympic level, others just enjoy the odd race once
in a while. But racing is not everything to amateur skippers.
A lot of them simply enjoy being on the water, free to sail wherever they wish to go, playing with the forces of nature and discovering beautiful spots and beaches on shore. This way, they
can still feel like the adventurers and explorers of times long
past, discovering the world at their ease.
As there are different types of yachtsmen, different ambitions,
different sailing areas, and different types of boats, there have
to be different kinds of sailing gear. In order to make it easier
to match the varying requirements, different types of sailing
and the appropriate equipment are subdivided into different
categories. These categories of PUMA Sailing performance are:
Offshore, One Design and Match Race, and Inshore.
One Design and Match Race is the mid-range
category, offering clothing for competitive,
athletic sailing in coastal areas.
Starting in Spring / Summer 2009, the Offshore and Inshore
categories will also offer technical clothing tailored specifically
to women’s needs, whereas the One Design and Match Race
category will remain unisex for the time being.
The Inshore sailing collection takes its name
from sailing in sheltered waters and there
fore places the lowest protection requirements
within the performance collection.
WRAP-UP

The world was discovered and put on the
map by sailors
Nowadays, sailing is mainly recognised as
a sport or leisure time activity
Many people have sailed around the globe
since Magellan’s crew achieved this feat
for the first time in 1519-1522
Some of these sailors have done so singlehandedly and non-stop
The ‘VOLVO Ocean Race’ is the most
famous around-the-world race
There is, however, more to sailing than the
‘VOLVO Ocean Race’
America’s Cup is the oldest sailing race
(started in 1851)
The ‘America’s Cup’ is the oldest
sailing race (started in 1851)
The Offshore category is the top of the range
category, with the most stringent requirements
suitable for the roughest weather conditions.

The Offshore category is the top of the PUMA Sailing categories.
It is designed for ambitious sailors who take part in offshore
races throughout the year. Many of the crews are families and
friends who race and train together on a regular basis.
Offshore sailing takes place on the open sea far from sheltered areas over a period of several days. This means the crews
are completely exposed to the forces of nature. The conditions
are often very cold, windy and wet. On some days, the sea is
throwing everything it has got at the sailors. Therefore, they
need maximum protection and comfort to perform at their top
level.
Performing at a high level also means strenuous work on deck,
and the clothes’ moisture management has to work underneath
the wind and water protection. When sailing in offshore races,
the competitors generally are not active all the time. There are
long breaks between manoeuvres in which they need to stay
warm, comfortable and focused. As motivation levels play a
huge part in the success of a team, staying comfortable and
feeling good is essential for performance.
The One Design category is designed for races taking place
closer to land, with less severe conditions encountered in
offshore racing. Therefore, the protective requirements for
this category are slightly less demanding. The One Design
category is especially designed for competitive sailors who
regularly take part in races. Their boats are built according to
certain regulations, so that fair competition with other boats
is possible. The performance level within this category is
extremely varied. At the top end is the ‘America’s Cup’, which
is highly professional. Then, there are semi-professionals
who race regularly and have sponsorship. At the lower end of
the spectrum, there are amateurs who just take part in races
from time to time and enjoy the fun of sailing, competing, and
potentially winning.
The conditions can be cold, wet and windy, but most of the
competitions take place during warm times of the year. As this
kind of sailing is very competitive, the equipment has to live up
to functional standards. The sailors have to be able to perform
their tasks on board and stay warm and dry at the same time.
Moisture has to be transported away from the skin as quickly
as possible, but at the same time the garment has to protect
against the wind which is ever present when sailing.
Weather conditions
Light winds and fair weather
Requirements
Protection from rain and spray,
comfortable fit
Sailing boats
Charter boats
The Inshore category is designed for yachtsmen staying in
sheltered areas like bays, lakes or estuaries, and thus meets
slightly less exacting protection standards than the other two
categories. Most of these yachtsmen do not own their own
boats and charter them for a day or the holiday. They only
sail now and again because they enjoy being on the water,
relaxing or cruising. They mostly sail in fair and sunny weather
conditions. The toughest weather in which they may decide to
go out are medium winds, strong rain and small waves. Sailing
is a leisure time activity for them, and they are not interested
in competing against other boats and yachtsmen.
Such sailors do not need maximum protection against the
elements, a light rain jacket is sufficient most of the time.
The amount of hard work on deck is also limited, and the
functionality of the clothes becomes less important. These
kinds of garments are lightweight and very popular for a broad
maritime audience, even for wearing onshore.
BASICS
SAILING GEAR
Today we have the materials and technical fabrics to produce
sailing gear that fulfils the needs and requirements of every
sailor, from the high performance athlete to the occasional
yachtsman. Modern functional sailing equipment guarantees
full protection against water, maximum comfort for maximum
performance. This has not always been the case.
HISTORY
The conditions at sea are often rough, and the salt water is very
damaging to the skin. In the times of the great adventurers and
explorers, this posed immense difficulties, as they did not have
the right clothing to protect against the elements.
The best they had in these days was a type of fabric or
canvas that was impregnated with oil (often linseed oil) to make
it waterproof. Others used sailcloth with a thin layer of tar to
stay dry, or soaked the fabric in wax. The first protective sailing
gear was called oilskin, a term that is sometimes still used
for today’s modern sailing gear. Oilskins are the yellow PVCcoated rain jackets developed in 1965 by Ansteen Nielsson
the founder of Jeantex. The water-proof jacket was designed
for fishermen and sailors and could also be worn inside out if
required. In the 1970s and 80s almost everyone owned a yellow
oilskin, and today it has become legendary. Staying dry was the
highest comfort sailors could get in times past.
BODY PHYSIOLOGY
Today no sailor would swap their high-tech sailing gear for the
old oilskin. Staying dry is still a problem today, but if you are
sweating or freezing underneath your protective outerwear, it
comes at a cost. The old oilskin was not breathable at all, so
the sailors did sweat a lot while working on deck. Breathability
of the garment is essential to guarantee maximum level performance, which is important when competing at the highest
level. Strangers to the sport often think that sailing is not hard
work, but ‘VOLVO Ocean Race’ athletes burn as many calories a
day as ‘Tour de France’ cyclists. The heart rate of a grinder can
rise up to 200 bpm, and they need the physical characteristics
of a boxer: strong legs and fast arms. So, sailing is hard work
indeed, and the weight bearing varies from slow endurance
strains to very short strains and fast movements. It is impossible to perform well at this level when hyper- or hypothermic. There are long low intensity intervals on deck, but these
are punctuated by bursts of intense activity: when there is a
manoeuvre in the offing, everything has to happen very quickly
and accurately. The strain is very high for a short time, and
the body temperature rises and remains high for quite some
time afterwards. When the body temperature rises, the body
compensates by producing sweat. Vaporising the water on the
skin uses a lot of heat from the skin and body. Wind increases
the speed of vaporisation and there is a danger of cooling the
body temperature down too much. Therefore it is essential to
transport the sweat away from the body and to stop the wind
from getting anywhere near it. In cold temperatures the body
tries to preserve the existing energy by constricting the veins
or to gain some heat by muscle activity. That is when we shiver
or get goose bumps. Hypothermia limits our thinking and
decision making, and it also increases the risk of seasickness.
This is why sailors need total weather protection delivered by
their garments when sailing.
GARMENT PHYSIOLOGY
There is no escaping from the elements or something like a
warm shower at the end of a day on the open sea. You hardly
get out of your sailing gear on board an offshore yacht. Therefore, the fabric of technical sailing garments has to be functio-
nal at the highest level. Due to the physical strains on the body,
sailing garments do not only need to be waterproof, they also
have to guarantee moisture management, breathability and
thermal insulation to regulate the body’s temperature, and
they have to be lightweight and loosely fitted. To be able to
adjust your gear to the ever-changing weather conditions on
board and to keep a stable body temperature, the layering
principle is essential. When wearing different functional
garments in different layers, you can stay dry, warm, and
comfortable in any climatic conditions.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SAILING APPAREL
LAYERING PRINCIPLE
MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
Moisture management describes the ability of a textile surface
to absorb moisture (sweat) and to transfer it away from the skin
to the outer surface of the textile. There, the moisture is distributed over a large surface area where it evaporates quickly.
The layering principle (known as the ‘onionprinciple’)
guarantees the functionality of the garments (protection,
breathability, moisture transfer and insulation). According to
the layering principle, when combined, the various functional garments guarantee a comfortable fit regardless of any
weather condition.
Since, they provide the optimum base for high-level sports
performance. An interruption of the layering system caused
BREATHABILITY
Breathability describes the amount of moisture (means sweat
in form of vapour) that textiles allow to escape through their
outer surface.
THERMAL INSULATION
When it is cold at sea or in specific maritime climate regions,
the retention of body heat becomes essential to prevent a
severe drop of core body temperature. In order to achieve this
objective, insulating materials (i.e. fleece) are used.
PROTECTION
Protection is important to maintain the overall comfort level.
Weather protection
to avoid water from entering through
Outer shell
Wind protection
to reduce wind chill
UV protection
to block UV rays
Reinforced materials to avoid abrasion on garments
Sailing apparel needs to be highly durable due to the rough
elements, the salty air and water, the exertion for hours, days
up to weeks and the rough superstructure on deck. Dense
woven fabrics, reinforcements at high stressed areas as well
as high quality materials (e.g. high performance membranes
from GORE-TEX®)
VISIBILITY
For safety reasons the Outer shell features reflective patches
or prints to enhance your visibility during low light conditions
or during night trips at sea.
by the insertion of a non-functional textile (e.g. cotton textiles)
results in the failure of the entire system. This also includes
situations in which the protective layer is no longer water
resistant in the rain (despite its functional fibres) and where
the surface becomes coated with a film of water as a result.
Because the breathability is compromised, moisture is trapped
into the inner layers of the textiles.

To achieve protection in tough weather conditions on the one
hand, as well as breathability and functionality on the other,
you need special membranes. When it comes to special membranes for severe weather conditions - something you will
undoubtedly have to face on a sailing boat - GORE-TEX® is
unsurpassed. The pores of the membrane are 20,000 times
smaller than a drop of water, yet a water vapour molecule is
700 times smaller than the pores. This is how the GORE-TEX®
membrane achieves breathability and protection against water
at the same time. Saltwater has no effect what so ever on the
membrane, it does not contaminate, alter or harm it, clog the
pores, or decrease breathability. GORE-TEX® materials are extremely durable. Protection against water lasts more than 500
hours, if care instructions are met. An oleophobic (‘oil hating’)
substance allowing moisture vapours to pass through it is integrated into the design, which creates a physical barrier to
contaminating substances such as oils, insect repellents and
food substances. GORE-TEX® garments are very lightweight
and resistant to ﬂexing. Special GORE-SEAM® tape technology
ensures all seams are 100% waterproof.

WINDSTOPPER® technology protects the body from the wind
chill factor. When the wind blows through a garment, the
microclimate is destroyed, the body suffers from heat and
energy loss, and the temperature is perceived as colder than it
actually is. At a temperature of +10°C (50°F) and a wind speed
of 40 km / h (25mph), the perceived wind chill temperature is
-1°C (30°F). The WINDSTOPPER® Softshell delivers comfort
as a mid or outer layer, is rain and snow resistant and dries
quickly. It provides soft comfort and freedom of movement.
