Anyone who’s lifted their shopping up to a crew member on board, only to see the carrier bag spit on a stanchion and the contents fall on the pontoon, in the water or on your head, should read on. These flexible bags from Wham can be taken from the car to the boat and even deposited in a locker without fear of damaging them, their contents, your boat or your crew. They can happily rest upright in the awash bottom of a dinghy while keeping your shopping dry. They are also capable of carrying bottles, liquids, can be cleaned and, when not it use, stacked. If that weren’t enough, the mounded handles make them comfy to carry, unlike the cheesewire-like handles of conventional carrier bags.
