Going Sailing for the first time EVER this weekend. Any suggestions on clothing?

Question

Please help ...what do i wear? tracksuit bottoms? oh by the way im going to Isle of Wight, uk

Answer 1

Dress in layers, so that you can adjust the amount of clothes you have on.  You will want a wind proof jacket and pants.  Track pants may be fine depending on the material, whether they are wind proof, etc.  Something waterproof would be good - you can bring along a small backpack with foul weather gear.  Wear shoes that will not mark the decks but if possible shoes that are also not slippery when wet.  Remember that it is quite possible that you will get wet.  Sunglasses would be a good idea, and a hat.  Check with the owner of the boat - he or she may have extra foul weather gear on board for visitors.  Have fun.

Answer 2

be sure the clothes are of the fast drying type. Steer clear of jeans

Answer 4

Be prepared for any weather. Dress warm, layers are good. Take a wind breaker and/or rain jacket. Take a hat the stays on. Wear rubber soled shoes.Take gloves. The sea is still very cold, so the air over it is also.
