Course pre-requisites: None

Trainee : Instructor ratio: 1:3
You will need to bring:
Essentials:

Wetsuit: Staying warm will help you to concentrate on the fun stuff.
Sturdy footwear: sailing boots or footwear you don’t mind getting wet. You don’t want to stub your toe.
Waterproof sunscreen and sunglasses floating or with a strap.
Hat: Baseball hat will keep the sun off your face and sun out of your eyes.
Water bottle: Stay hydrated! Aim for a reusable bottle to minimize plastic waste.
Lunch and snacks: Pack light, energy-rich foods that won’t get squished in your bag.
Towel and change of clothes: It’s highly likely you’ll get wet – and most likely capsized! Be prepared to dry off and change into something comfortable afterwards.

Optional but helpful:

Gloves: Protect your hands from rope burns and blisters. They don’t have to be sailing gloves, any light gloves with good grip are ideal.
Waterproof bag: Keep your valuables safe and dry. However, any valuable items should be left at home or in the sailing club.
First-aid kit: Always be prepared for minor bumps and scrapes.
Sense of humour and adventurous spirit: Sailing can be both challenging and exhilarating. Embrace the unexpected and be ready to laugh it off!
