Sailing Equipment

Here is a list of the gear you will need to be comfortable and safe as we sail this season.

Mandatory:

• Type 3 personal flotation device (PFD) in good condition, that fits well.

• Waterproof jacket

• Waterproof pants

• Fleece or wool hat

• Sunscreen

​

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.
