This is a recommended list to ensure you have the layers you need to be comfortable at sea. If you would like an advice on boots, waterproofs or any element of equipment please do not hesitate to email us on westcorksailing@gmail.com.

  • Offshore waterproof jacket and salopettes – you are outside exposed to the elements all day, windsheeters will not be good enough
  • Wellington boots – clean please
  • Sleeping bag and pillow – or duvet with undersheet (pack into 2 bin bags)
  • 2 x Quick dry towel – 1 for use after swimming and 1 for use after fresh water or 1 towel and thin robie
  • Flannel or wash cloth
  • Comfy trousers / leggings / track pants
  • Thermals top and bottomms – highly recommend investing in marino wool as it is anti bacterial
  • 2 x Long sleep top
  • 2 x Tees / vest top
  • Thin fleece / jumper
  • Thick fleece / jumper
  • Shorts (you never know, you might be lucky :))
  • Wooly hat & Baseball hat
  • Gloves
  • Swim togs
  • Sun glasses
  • Note book and pencil
  • Water bottle
  • Sea sickness tablets if needed – If you think you may be effected by sea sickness we recommend you take a tablet 1 hour before boarding and not waiting until it creaps up on you on board
  • All packed in a soft bag, or a couple of small soft bags – there is not much room on board, so hard bags cannot be stored.
