B&G Nemesis An ususual and generous present and one that will get you kudos with any sailor who knows their stuff. You can even kickstart a fireside conversation about the fact that B&G has been on every Whitbread and Volvo Ocean Race winner since the round the world event started in 1973. The next edition of The Ocean Race starts in October 2022 in Alicante, finishing in Genoa in June 2023. B&G’s Nemesis screen range, as shown here in a photo by Amory Ross on 11th Hour Racing, is a “new generation of intelligent sailing displays offering unparalleled visibility, with complete customisation or easy to use multi-function templates and automatic dashboards based on your angle of sail”.

Robbe & Berking champagne flute
You can get your hands on one of these elegant silverplated flutes by winning the Centenarian of the Year prize in our sister title’s Classic Boat Awards, or if your yacht is a tiny bit newer than 100 years, then go straight to the Robbe & Berking website, where you’ll find this in the fine German silversmiths’ Belvedere Bar Collection. “The Belvedere drinking vessels resemble the cannelures of antique columns,” says Robbe & Berking. Supping champagne cocktails from one of these on 25 December is the kind of Christmas Day we could put up with. From €284 shop.robbeberking.com
