Dinghy Sailing What to Wear
Wetsuit Booties:
These come in different styles from slip on shoes to boots with zippers. Ideally you want a neoprene boot with a stiffened sole. If you’re not wearing booties old runners are ok, no crocs or flip flops
Wetsuit:
A full wetsuit with Long arms and Long legs is most suitable, also called a steamer. No shorties allowed I’m afraid.
Rash vest:
A lycra vest which provides a soft layer against your skin, helps keep you warm and stops the neoprene from irritating your skin.
Swimsuit:
Wear it under your rash vest
Cag:
A windproof jacket to wear over your wetsuit
Bouyancy aid:
This should fit snugly.
Hat:
Either a peaked hat or woolly hat depending on the weather
Sun cream:
Even when the sun isn't shinning, it will keep you looking younger for longer
Sailing gloves:
These will protect your hands from rope burns and chaffing
Board shorts:
To be worn over your wetsuit. These protect the bum of your suit from getting torn.
The club have a limited supply of wetsuits, cags and buoyancy aids.
The rash vest, board shorts, sailing gloves and wetsuit booties are optional.
