What to Bring

Points to remember:

• There can be a lot of glare on the water. Protect your eyes!
• The sun can often burn your skin in less than 30 minutes. Short yachting races last about 1 hour.
• When sailing with the wind, it can feel quite warm – but when sailing into the wind, the temperature drops significantly

Bring a small backpack with you. Note: Be conscious of the weight you’re bringing – only bring what you absolutely need! You might want to bring:

• Extra layer of clothing
• Sunglasses and sunscreen
• Baseball cap or toque
• Fingerless sailing or biking gloves
• Shoes with NON-MARKING (preferably light-coloured) soles
• Minimum 1 L water. For long distance races, 2 L or more
• High calorie snacks. Should be fast/easy to consume! (energy bars, apple, etc)

Bonus points:

• Digital watch with timer
