Mandatory:
-
Type 3 personal flotation device (PFD) in good condition, that fits well.
-
Waterproof jacket

Waterproof pants

This gear needs to come to all regattas and practices.
Other stuff you may want to have:
-
Sailing booties (you can use old sneakers and wool socks instead)
-
Polypro inner layers
-
Sailing gloves
-
Sunglasses
-
A waterproof watch is very helpful
There are a lot of sailors who outgrow stuff in the four years with the team and you may be able to hunt up some used gear. E-mail appeals to other BHS Sailing families have worked well in the past. FoBIHSS does provide some support options please contact one of the Board Members for information.
