To sail, whether for a day or for a cruise, it is important to be well equipped, both in terms of clothing and equipment. We have prepared a file for you to know what to put in your sailor's bag, from the oilskin to protect you from the sea spray to the right shoes to avoid slipping on the deck. We also come back to the safety equipment, essential to take the sea.
For your bag, choose a soft bag rather than a hard suitcase. In a boat, the storage space is not adapted to the "cabin luggage" format. You can also opt for a waterproof bag, or include several waterproof bags in your sailor's bag (garbage bags also work well).
The sailor's bag: the outfit for sailing
Sailing on deck requires good protection against cold and humidity. Breathable and water-repellent oilskins that wick away perspiration while protecting from the spray are preferred. Here are the essentials to take in your sailor's bag to be able to actively participate in the navigation.
The sailor's bag: what to wear to enjoy a sail?
When the weather is good, the sailor can adapt his outfit while thinking of protecting himself from the heat and the sun. At sea, the sun's reflection on the water is cruel and treacherous. Having the right clothing to protect yourself allows you to fully enjoy all the moments of sailing.
The sailor's bag: safety equipment
The safety equipment is personal. It is up to each crew member to embark with his or her own equipment, adjusted to his or her body type. Here is the essential safety equipment that we advise you to always have with you when sailing.
