Recommended Kit List’s
When sailing you will always encounter different types of weather. In order to help you pack your bag, please see our lists of recommended items bearing in mind the type of event you are attending.   Sailing often generates a lot of activity, so comfortable clothes and shoes are advisable. Also please note that the wind chill factors do variate so several thin layers are better than one thick.
