Since 1985, Team One Newport has been one of the leaders in outfitting the world’s best sailors, racers, teams, and businesses. With its flagship store in the heart of historical sailing town Newport, RI, and its warehouse and offices in neighboring Middletown, the company’s proximity to world-class sailing makes it an ideal choice when looking to buy gear from people who committed to providing quality, service, and expertise.
WHO WE ARE: Team One’s founder and owner Martha Parker began the company when she noticed a void for sailors in the clothing market, and wanted to serve this community of which she was such an active part. Martha is a seasoned sailor, holding two world titles along with numerous North American and national championships, and her experiences on the water and racing give her an expert opinion on what sailors want and need. She takes her years of experience on the water as the industry has evolved and she applies it to determining the best products and services for her customers. With a focus on the sailing industry, Parker has been leading the market in supplying sailors with the most up-to-date technology and product design to maximize comfort and performance, as well as the knowledge for sailors to get the most out of their gear. The company chooses its brands and products carefully to make sure that they only carry the “best of the best” and they proudly stand behind every product that they sell. The Team One staff is made up of people who, like Martha, have a passion for the sailing community and work to make the best shopping experience for its customers.
WHAT WE DO: Team One is committed to providing the sailing community with access to the best gear that they can buy by educating its customers about its products and providing fast and easy service. With a passion for customer service, Team One strives to make every customer completely satisfied with his or her purchase whether they are gearing up to sail around the world or going cruising on a summer afternoon.
In addition to selling regular sailing gear, Team One also provides customization services and has been outfitting teams, boats, and companies with embroidered, screen printed, and sublimated products for years. The team helps its customers choose items, design the products, discuss the best customization options, and works with them until the end to make sure that everything arrives satisfactory.
TEAM ONE’S NEW SCRAMBLER LINE: Earlier this year, Team One Newport launched the Scrambler Line – its own line of jackets, vests, and shorts designed for the universal needs of so many of the company’s customers, sailors and non-sailors alike! The Scrambler line was developed in particular to help service the teams who continue to come to the company for crew uniforms, embroidery, and sublimation. The jackets and vests feature MiraFab, a superior soft shell stretch fabric that is wind resistant, water repellant, machine washable and dryer safe. The polyester interlock knit fabric has a non-visible, breathable membrane to help keep the elements out, which is laminated to a non-pill micro-fleece to keep the warmth in. The shorts are made of a wind-resistant nylon woven oxford cloth, and are designed for performance endurance. In addition to men’s and women’s shorts, the Scrambler line also includes a women’s skort, with the flattering cut of a skirt but internal black compression shorts for comfort and functionality. Consider the Scrambler line when outfitting your crew, team, or just looking for some functional new gear for your personal kit!
HOW TO REACH US: Team One has two retail stores on Thames Street in Newport – the Team One flagship store and Patagonia on Thames St – where customers can find the best products and knowledgeable sales personnel to help them with any questions or gear needs. Customers can also browser and shop for all of the company’s products in the online store, or by calling the Team One Customer Service line.
