Our Story
The modern sailor needs hardwearing, technical clothing and equipment that looks just as good on board as it does on land. From ship to shore, Nava Performance answers that need. We are building a range of bold, innovative clothing and accessories based on our shared passion for the water.
50 Years on the Water
NAVA Performance was founded in conjunction with Dave Hall, who has a lifetime in the sport. Starting as a young teenager, Dave cut his teeth racing on the Mirror Class Dinghy circuit before progressing through 420s, Fireballs, 29ers, 49ers, 18ft skiffs Dragons, Melges 24 and more.
With a career spanning LDC (RS Sailing), Ovington Boats, Rondar Raceboats and Hyde Sails, he brings a wealth of experience and understanding of the demands on clothing and equipment and what a sailor really needs.
Performance Meets Value
Our style breaks with tradition, bringing a new aesthetic to the market. We want you to look as good as possible on and off the water, but we recognise that the core values of our products are performance and outstanding value.
You are not going to win, or get the most from your sailing, if you have not got the right clothing and equipment. That is where NAVA Performance products come from - affordable, high quality products backed by years of experience.
Built for Every Sailor
From drysuits and sailing jackets to neoprene boots and drybags, our range is comprehensively tested with fifty years afloat. Every product is designed to perform in the toughest conditions while keeping you comfortable from ship to shore.
Wherever you take our products and wherever they take you, NAVA Performance is pure sailing equipment, built to make the everyday into the ultimate.
