What will I need to bring? The only specialized kit you will need is suitable footwear – deck shoes or trainers and sea boots (clean wellies might do, but grip on deck is poor), sailing gloves (desirable but not essential) and a sleeping bag. Our base shop sells a range of good quality sailing gear. Call us to check sizes and availability.
