Kit List
By the time you reach RYA Day Skipper level, you should have done some previous sailing and be keen to progress, so now is a good time to start to buy a few key pieces of sailing kit.
You will need to bring:
• A sleeping bag and pillow (available to purchase at checkout stage if you don't already have one)
• Personal toiletries, towel and any medications. Suncream and hand moisturiser (we suggest you bring travel size items)
• Personal toiletries, towel and any medications. Suncream and hand moisturiser (we suggest you bring travel size items)
• Sailing boots or shoes (high heels or black soles are not suitable). Consider purchasing a pair of leather boots as an investment, or rubber ones are much cheaper, but almost as good (not as warm in winter as leather ones).
• We recommend 'Sealskinz' waterproof socks if you are just wearing trainers.

• Woolly hat, scarf gloves, cap and sunglasses (preferably polarized to reduce glare)
• Log book (available to purchase at checkout) - you should definitely have one by now!
• Passport (just in case!)
• Passport photo for your certificate
Clothing:
• Wicking or thermal base layers or t-shirts (preferably not 100% cotton) - running, skiing or other sportswear is usually fine
• Mid-layers – such as a warm fleecy jumper, body-warmer / gilet
• Outer-layer – windproof and waterproof. Preferably designed for sailing - but don't worry we can lend these to you
• Comfortable soft trousers (not jeans – which are very heavy when wet) to wear whilst sailing
• In summer – obviously shorts and t-shirts may be suitable. In winter – bring extra layers for warmth.
• Evening wear - in the evening you may go ashore, so some jeans, t-shirt and sensible shoes will be perfect.
• Night-wear

When sailing, the windchill is one of the biggest factors so you will typically need to wear one layer more than you think.
Useful items:
• Personal torch or head torch (preferably with a red light mode)
• Camera!
• Sailing gloves (£5 gardening gloves will be just fine!)
• Spare plastic bags for wet clothes, to keep your phone in etc
• 12V phone charger
• Ear-plugs
Everything should be packed in a soft holdall, not a hard suitcase. If you aren't sure or have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us on 023 8033 0999.
