Ronstan has developed the boots for recreational sailors and inshore racers, their new CL66 deck boots are guaranteed to keep sailors' feet dry in the harshest of conditions. The Ronstan CL66 deck boots are three-quarter length cut with toggle lock strings for comfort, warmth and protection.

And one Ronstan staff member is especially willing to stand by that guarantee after taking the company's research and development of the CL66 boots to the highest level by wearing them in the 2006 Sydney-to-Hobart.

International Sales Manager Peter Dowdney says the high-quality waterproof, non-slip and durable materials of the boots passed the gruelling Sydney-to-Hobart test with flying colours.

Ronstan has developed the boots for recreational and crusiing sailors and inshore racers, but with a host of market-leading practical features they are equally suited to the demands of fishing too.

The Ronstan CL66 deck boots are three-quarter length cut with toggle lock strings for comfort, warmth and protection.

They feature tough neoprene linings for added comfort and warmth, rubber outers for increased durability, flexibility and waterproof qualities. They have removable inner soles for added foot support and quick drying, with reinforced toe, ankle and heel areas with bump protection for added safety and their grey and black designs match Ronstan's wet-weather range and dinghy neoprene gear.

The Cl66's have non-slip and non-marking razor-cut outer soles for outstanding grip.

'Basically the essence of any boot is to keep your feet dry and it's no great secret that in 97% of cases that doesn't happen with other brands,' says Peter, who sailed his 10th Sydney-to-Hobart aboard the 42ft racing yacht Wedgetail. 'There are some very ordinary deck boots about.'

Sail-world talked to Ronstan CEO Alistair Murray about the company’s product development.

Alistair commented, ‘Ronstan is now one of the top three sailboat hardware companies in the world. We are currently in the middle of our biggest ever product development program.'
