As a guide for what to pack (in a soft bag) when you come sailing, here's a kit list:
Warm socks (walking socks)
Non-slip, non-marking shoes or boots. In the summer deck-shoe, trainers or tennis shoes should do
Long Johns and quick drying trousers (not jeans)
Base layer (long sleeved t-shirt), fleece and jacket
Hat and Gloves
Sleeping bag
(On Nomad Sailing courses we provide waterproofs, lifejackets and pillow cases)
For the summer include: shorts, t-shirt, sun screen, sun glasses and swimwear
For Channel Hops: a good seasickness remedy such a Stugeron and chocolate for the skipper.
Below are some recommendations to fit a range of budgets. Most come recommended by one or more of our instructors, so you can be assured that they are tried and tested in all the conditions that a season of sailing might throw at them.
