Kit List
For the RYA Competent Crew course, we recommend that you do not purchase lots of expensive sailing kit until you are sure you want to do more sailing.
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). A pair of trainers is fine, but you may get wet feet so bring a spare pair of shoes for evening wear. We also recommend 'Sealskinz' waterproof socks to wear with trainers.
• Woolly hat, scarf gloves, cap and sunglasses (preferably polarized to reduce glare)
• Log book (available to purchase at checkout) if you don’t have one to record your sailing
• Passport (just in case!)
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
• 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.
If you do wish to purchase technical sailing kit, we can offer a 15% discount on all Henri Lloyd items. Call us to order.
