miner’s lamp These miner’s safety lamps have been made in Wales by the famed E Thomas and Williams from heavy, solid brass for 130 years. Each comes with a unique number and certificate of origin. They hold

For the general, all-year-round use of the inshore sailor, this is a canny buy. This jacket incorporates a removable inner lining, making it either a fleece, a lightweight summer sailing jacket or a warm winter sailing jacket, all in one. It’s easy to unzip, has an outside hood and plenty of usable pockets. In making the versatile 3-in-1 jacket, Musto has cleverly avoided the trap of what we call “the sofabed effect”, namely, when combining things, being neither a good sofa nor a comfy bed. Not so in this case. £180

Versatile Quick reference cards
Everyone likes to think they know it all, but when, God forbid, a shadow of a doubt creeps in, it’s reassuring to have something to refer to quickly at hand. Davis Instruments of California has come up with these seven sets of handy, quick-reference cards, made from high-strength plastic, that cover pretty much everything that you could possibly need to know on the spot, from navigation to marine electronics, and from star-gazing to piloting through first aid. We also enjoy their unintended use as placemats for those boring moments when someone’s telling you a salty yarn over dinner. $9.99 per set
