Everything you

need for...

yoga on deck

Beauty/

Olivia Falcon

Lululemon Reversible Mat

Sun salutations on deck – what

could be better? Probably grounding

oneself on this ultra absorbent

mat that has the most amazing grip.

It’s also impregnated with an

antimicrobial additive that keeps

bacteria and mould at bay so you

can break a stress-free sweat.

£62, lululemon.co.uk

Mio Skincare

Liquid Yoga Space Spray

Even when you’re moored in

the noisiest harbour, this

mood-enhancing spray (a delicious

mix of cypress, lavender, chamomile

and zingy mandarin) restores

feelings of Zen. Just don’t let

the skipper nick it for his loo.

£19.50 for 150ml, mioskincare.com

Margaret Dabbs

Hand Sanitiser

A spritz on hands (and feet) keeps

your yoga mat fresh and fragrant. It

contains Australian emu oil, which

moisturises skin without feeling

greasy. And it’s incredibly handy for

having on deck if you’re shucking

oysters, scaling fish or casting off.

£12 for 30ml, spacenk.com

This quintessentially Italian

brand is based in a town

Penne, in Abruzzo. Brioni

to be the best – so you can

be assured that every piece,

such as this blouson-style silk

jacket, is of the highest quality.

Perfect for when it’s windy

on deck. £1,540, brioni.com

SILK SWEATER

DUNHILL

The original cricket

jumper dates back to

the 1920s and quickly

made it to California,

where it was worn by

homesick stars such

as David Niven and

Ronald Colman at the

Hollywood Cricket Club.

This silk version may not

be perfect on the pitch

but will be a lot cooler

on a balmy night.

£325, dunhill.com

season’s bag of choice

luxury. These desert boots with moccasin

stitching give the Wild West a touch of class.

SCARF

GUCCI

Since taking over Gucci at the

start of 2015 Alessandro Michele

a must-buy. £170, gucci.com
