Our favorite answer
is a lime green pant suit ; ) but nobody has ever taken us seriously
on this so our second answer is as follows:
Make sure your clothing
is comfortable. Loose fitting or stretchy as you may be moving around
a bit on the boat and need good range of motion.
Next, think LAYERS.
We all get hot or cold very easily and each of us has different thresholds.
Most people come sailing in the south bay in T-shirts and shorts, while
some prefer longer shirts and pants. If you come in layers of clothing,
you can easily put more clothes on or take some off as the temperature
and activity dictates.
SHOES:
Anything that protects your toes and is slip resistant will work. Also,
make sure the shoes wont leave marks on the boat, or you may have some
scrubbing to do at the end of the day. Most tennis shoes work ok. A
good way to check to see if your shoes are scuff resistant is to go
outside and try to leave a mark on the cement or sidewalk. If you cant,
you are okay with those shoes.
Now we can talk
optional gear. You may want to bring: Suntan lotion, sunglasses, a hat
with a clip so when the wind blows it off your head you wont lose it,
bottled water, and if you have your own life vest, feel
free to bring that too.
If you think you
may need it, bring it.Our motto is, "Its better to have it on the
boat than in the car." |
