I've always liked the Gil Dinghy boats for shoes, but during the frostbite I resorted to wearing my Tevo sandals over my drysuit rubber booties. I could layer on as many socks as I need to stay warm without having fit problems in the shoes. Worked out great. But, I've seen lots of pics of people doing distance racing in bare feet. Anybody have thoughts on that?

As for harnesses - I've heard the Aquata Worrel XT is the one to get, but does anybody know who's selling them?

I've started to prefer the Ronstan gloves, full fingered (except for index finger) for general sailing. I had neoprene frostbite gloves which I really liked but they disintegrated last year.
