The Sailing Essentials

Don’t leave the dock without these items! They make sailing safer for you and your crewmates. As a carrier, use a soft duffel bag for easy stowing without metal buckles that can scratch woodwork.

  • Non-skid deck shoes (or sea boots) with non-marking soles. (Acceptable shoes are sailing shoes, rubber boots like XtraTufs, and most running and tennis shoes are fine. Please ensure they are free of dirt and mud)
  • Heavy-duty gloves (preferably leather) for line handling (fingertips cut off is OK).
  • Warm clothing head to foot (Note: The ambient temperature on the water is usually lower than on land).
  • Foul-weather gear
  • Sunglasses (this is important as if the sun comes out the white deck can be blinding and it will be hard to see) and croakies if you have them (always a bummer to watch sunglasses fall overboard)
  • Sunscreen
  • Lunch, snacks, and a water bottle
  • Knife on lanyard
  • Whistle on a lanyard
  • Headlamp or flashlight
