For several years I have been a very happy wearer of the Irish Mallard waterproof/windproof sweaters. For those unfamiliar with them, they used to be available from Landfall Navigation and consist of a sweater woven of Teflon-coated wool that overlays a breatable waterproof/windproof fabric layer. http://www.landfallnavigation.com/mims.html I can attest to their claim of waterproof and windproof comfort, but unfortunately, they seem to have gone out of business. Can anyone recommend a similar garment? Fair winds, Al

Sorry can't help you with the sweater issue but was curious if you were the same Persephone that layed overnight in Cape May last summer?

Not us, Mike - we generally sail the Gulf of Maine and Massacuhusetts/Cape Cod Bays. Fair winds, Al
