I agree with Edd. Try something nautical and feminine. Try the following websites:

The seller does really good work at reasonable prices. Maybe you could give her something like foulies to keep her dry and warm, if you are really committed to boat gear or perhaps something cuddly and soft for cool nights on the boat. But boat gear is not romantic . Youre likely to get a reaction similar to that youd get if you gave her a new vacuum cleaner for her birthday. You might get away with an oversized self-tailing winch at Christmas (Honey, I wanted to make sailing easier for you.) but not on Valentines Day.

Andrew, If it must be boat related, would suggest looking for comforts that she enjoys at home and find similar things that are boat-ready to make cruising with you that much more comfortable. Such as: 1. A cushioned chair 2. TV tuner for an iPad 3. Bedding 4. Closet and storage space for her things. None of these are romantic though -- in fact, I wouldn't try to tie in the boat with Valentine's. As much as us guys love getting stainless steel and carbon for our toys, never underestimate her desire for a much more compressed form of carbon -- a diamond. All the best, Edd Edd M.

That day all men dread is rolling around again. Now that we have a boat together, gifting just to a whole lots easier. So now I'm looking for gift ideas for the missus that she can use on the boat. A carbon spinnaker pole is not in the budget, I think we have plenty of good sails, and the running rigging is only a couple of years old, except the mainsheet, which I'm thinking would be good to replace with Salsa line. Any other ideas? I got her fender covers for Christmas and other than getting he color wrong, they were a big hit.
