Put on, cast off.
Everyone taking up the challenge of the elements, has to be able to rely on his equipment. That is why BMW cooperates with Henri Lloyd, the technical
yachtwear specialist, when it develops and manufactures its Yachtsport products. Henri Lloyd’s years of experience are expressed in the Yachting
Wind Jacket, which features high-performance material that is a hundred
percent wind- and waterproof. Ingenious details like its neon-yellow signal hood with reflectors, saltwater-resistant, two-way zippers, and ergonomically shaped sleeves allow sailors to concentrate fully on their next maneuver. So no matter what the shipping forecast, the BMW Yachtsport Collection offers the right performance equipment for the crew, from warm fleece jackets with high collars, to wind jackets and long- and short-sleeved shirts.
All clear to drop anchor!
Whether the crew’s on its way to the beach bar for a sundowner or the skipper’s looking for the port office, this blue-and-white collection can be seen anywhere, on sea or on land.
The Yachting ladies’ dress is both elegant and practical, and with and with the Sailing Edition shirt and casual shorts, it isn’t just the captain who’ll be turning heads. Now all those who stay behind on land can examine the details of the collection up close: the BMW lettering in the form of international maritime signal flags, and the 4I6 design element reminiscent of the BMW Sailing Cup, make the collection unmistakable.
Cabin luggage and jetsam.
The 35-product-strong BMW Yachtsport Collection includes a series of
accessories to match the crew’s outfits. More vulnerable items can be stored
safely in the drybag. The large, 47-liter drybag is a good place for the deck shoes, alongside a camera and a laptop. Like its 11-liter little brother, its sealed seams and useful roll-up closure make the bag one hundred percent waterproof. Other luggage from the collection, like the flip flops, cap, and beach towel, can be stowed nicely in the duffle bag or the beach bag.
The BMW Yachtsport Collection can be ordered from your nearest BMW Dealership – please allow 2 weeks delivery from BMW AG.
