Bring your signed forms and waivers on the first day of class! We can't let anyone sail without them.

• Dress for the weather! This means wool or fleece in lots of layers.
• We'll provide you with a drysuit. It'll keep seawater out, but you'll still get damp from perspiration, and they don't protect your feet.
• Wear shoes that can get wet every day. Thick wool socks with old tennies are popular, as are neoprene booties - no sandals please. Your feet will get wet, so bring a dry pair of shoes and socks for the end of the day.
• Hats that won't get blown away are a must on cold days, and some people like sailing or diving gloves.
• Avoid jewelry, it can get caught on things and rip your drysuit, or you. Best to leave it at home.
• UV protection on sunny days is recommended.
• Bring a lifejacket. We have a few loaners, but not enough. Don't bring a self-inflating lifejacket, since you'll be going in the water every day.
• Snacks for the end of the day are nice. Students taking all-day courses should bring a good lunch.
• Please leave valuables at home. The Yacht Club is locked when we're not there, but it's best not to tempt fate.
