The sailor's bag: what outfit to enjoy sailing?

When the weather is fine, the sailor can adapt his clothing while thinking about protecting himself from the heat and sun. You can also trade your outfit for this one to simply enjoy sailing in good weather.

Deck shoes or sport shoes : Choose non-slip shoes to move around on the deck. Even if sports shoes are a good compromise, it is better to use specialized models. In any case, avoid black soles, as they leave marks on the deck! See our article on how to wear the right shoes to navigate .

T-shirts You can use them on sunny days, but they won't keep you warm under a fleece. You can also opt for an anti-UV tee-shirt to protect yourself from the sun.

Canvas pants : The reinforced models at the pockets and knees are practical and resistant.

Short Don't forget the sun cream to protect your thighs!

Swimsuit If you feel like taking a dip or unraveling a piece of the propeller..

Bath towel You can now find microfiber towels that dry quickly and are ultra compact to take everywhere. Made of sponge, it also ensures waterproofness, placed around the neck.

Sunscreen Don't hesitate to opt for a sun block that will protect you from the reflection on the water.

Sunglasses : Choose polarized models that "erase" the reflections on the water. In the same way as for the skin, the sun reverberates and it is necessary to protect the eyes.

Canvas cap or hat Protecting your head from sunstroke. A garrote or a hat clip will prevent your hat from flying off.

Plastic bags for wet or dirty clothes : On board a boat, we are always in need of plastic bags, and they can be used for anything!

Knife (Opinel, Wichard Leatherman) On board, you always need a knife with you. Whether it's to make a splice, cut a piece stuck in the propeller, or simply for the meal... The multi-tool type Leatherman offers additional possibilities. Prefer a model with blade lock in open position to avoid cutting your fingers.

Sleeping bag : It is always convenient to have your sleeping bag with you to sleep on board. Especially since today there are very compact and light models. Especially since there is no need to choose a model capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -20°. Avoid natural down models that get moldy and prefer synthetic ones. For pillow aficionados, there are also inflatable pillows!
