From technical to active stretch, lightweight to board, a great pair of sailing shorts should be front and centre of any seafaring wardrobe. Probably the most comfortable, practical and important sailing garment you can buy, every man or woman accustomed to life on deck knows that a great pair of shorts will be one of the first things you grab when you're planning a day out on the water in the height of summer.
