Gear choices
Ok I know Im cutting it close but I'm thinking about getting the Admiral some gear for Christmas. I'm thinking sailing bib and new auto-inflate life jacket. Currently we don't wear any sailing gear at all. We do have rain gear and a couple of sets of Mustang auto-inflates. Suggestions welcome...

Asked my Admiral she wanted swivel cup holders. She hates spilling when reeling in a fish. Dam fish!!

Re: Gear choices
That life vest is essential. No one gets on mynew auto-inflate life jacket. Currently we don't wear any sailing gear at all.
without wearing an inflatable life vest. I emphasize inflatable because they are very comfortable. A great deal of macsailors don’t agree with me, but if something goes wrong, not a good time to try to search for the vest.
If she really likes sailing, get her jewelry.
Leave the functional stuff for you 
Or, maybe this. My wife loves it.

Ray I'd never get her off the bow! She saw a post your or someone elses in the mods section that had the bow hammock and keeps hinting. We always have the PFD's at hand just not always on. Need to do some trial fits of different brands. I find our Mustangs to be a little small for my liking (I also have a 54" chest) and would like something with a crotch strap and integrated D rings.
