Burke Marine is well known for supplying the Australian and New Zealand sailors with their range of wet weather gear, and now they are truly global. Donald Street a well know Caribbean sailor, author and cartographer finally convinced the Burke Distributor in the Caribbean Island Water World to stock DRY ¾ saying it was the ideal jacket for the tropics as it is cool to wear but able to keep your “bum” dry in a squall, and as we can see by Don and his wife outside their favourite Irish pub they are also great when not in the tropics.
The DRY ¾ jacket is just one of the garments in the “Traditional” range of sailing garments that are comfortable, 100% waterproof and hard wearing. Standard length Jackets, Bib and Brace Trousers and Spray jackets are also available as well as a full collection of breathable garments from Harbour to Offshore.
Island Water World is one of 13 International distributors that have picked up the brand and they now reach sailors all over the world.
