Glorious Marco Pierre White

As big Marco Pierre White fans, we thought we'd recommend the Glorious! Marco Pierre White Soups that we've just discovered in Sainsburys. The Indian Chicken, Spring Onion and Coriander soup was absolutely superb. Possibly one of the best soups we've ever had! Makes a welcome change from boring old carrot and coriander. Check them out.

Happy St.George's Day!

We're proud to be English and celebrate our patron saint today, but wouldn't it be great if we had a national holiday to go along with it!

New Stock Arrived !

We hand pick our stock so that all our prices are as low as they can go. Supply and availability is always limited at these prices, so we thought we'd tell everyone about the latest arrivals at the Roan Star Sailing Outlet website.

Today: We've just listed some more Birch Musto GD360-LT Deck Shoes -. These are very popular! We also have some more sizes in Grey too.

Also new in today are the Red Musto Soft Shell Race Jackets. These are perfect for sailing in the spring and summer because they are lightweight, breathable, waterproof and look good! A lot of people like to wear these onshore too. Available for only £74.40. That's a massive 40% off retail prices!

Which Superhero are you ?

Musto on YouTube

While you are on YouTube check out the Musto Skiff and Musto Sailing videos that have been uploaded. It's great to see some real life sailing ! While looking for Musto on YouTube we also found a couple of Mike Golding Vendee Globe Boat Tour clips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf1SH22Y3y0 (we like this clip because Mike is talking about how much he loves his Musto kit )

There are loads of Vendee clips on Youtube too. Infact whatever kind of sailing you are in to, then there will be something on there to interest you.

Galaxy Zoo 2

If you are interested in astronomy, then we thought you might like to visit the second version of the wonderful Galaxy Zoo : https://galaxyzoo.org/

Galaxy Zoo 2 has just launched, and is a great way to spend time looking at our universe. Help the astrophysicists classify over 250,000 galaxies in a simple and fun way by logging on to the site and looking at endless photographs from across the universe. Some of these galaxies are really beautiful, and it is a fascinating project to take part in.

New Google Checkout Payment Option Available

We have just added another payment processing facility to our website.
We can now take payments through Google Checkout as well as PayPal. This should make it even easier to shop at our Outlet. We have used PayPal for several years on eBay and have found it fast, safe and secure, but we decided to add Google Checkout to the Roan Star Sailing Outlet so that customers have a choice.

Yachting sites

We are always on the look out for great sailing sites, like Yachting & Boating World http://www.ybw.com/ybw/home.htm which really does have everything you could possible need, including a terrific users forum. The forum is very well supported, and a great way to find answers to all your boating question, discover events, and even make friends.

We recently found another excellent Yachting site, called Yachting Life Magazine, http://www.yachtinglife.co.uk/ This site is aimed at people in the North of England, and primarily Scotland. There are some great news articles, a handy events page and a lovely photo gallery. There is also an interesting reviews page where you can read first hand reviews of new boats and sailing experiences. This site is very interesting to anyone interested in yachts and boats, and may even prompt you to try sailing in the North and Scotland, judging by the photos, the scenery is spectacular.
