Some advise for a nice sailing experience
Clothes and shoes
If you intend to sail in every condition – especially in the off season – you need to have a water-tight sailing suit and boots with you.
For those who sail only from June to the end of August it will be enough to take a light windbreaker (waterproof), a few t-shirts, shorts, swimming suit, cap, and a sweater for evenings. You can also always use long pants. On board it is either barefooted (what is the most comfortable way, however not recommended if you are engaged in sailing or similar), or sport shoes with rubber. Additional an extra pair for exploring the coast and flip-flops are recommended. Do not travel with suitcases; they take to much space on the sailing-boat. Rather use sports bags. For the sportive guy’s I can really recommend to take your jogging gear with you – not only results a leap in the water after the morning run in high spirits, it enables you to experience the island and small villages much better.
Important hints
- As soon as the boat engine is stopped turn of the fridge. Otherwise the fridge will empty your batteries
- Gas valve always close after cooking is finishes
- In case of stronger wind always put on the life belts
- Reduce the sailing surface in time
- Make economical use of the water (except you intend to go to a marina every two days)
- As soon as you leave the harbour or bay, close all valves and do not leave any kitchenware lying around
- In the harbour or marina: s-l-o-w speed
- Toilets: no tampons or similar things
