Sailing
holidays on board the Schooner Trinovante
What to bring:
Sleeping bag
Clean pillow case (we provide a pillow)
Pair of wellies ordinary black wellies will do.
Passport
Non slip footwear - we are not a yacht so there
is no need to buy expensive deck shoes.
Warm hat and clothing. Layers work best, thermal
underwear is a great idea and doesn't take up much
room. Remember that it can get very cold at night
on the water.
Towel and toiletries
Strap to hold your sunglasses/glasses on with.
Sunscreen, loose clothing to cover up from the
sun
Any medication that you need including seasickness
medication. Stugeron it the one most people take. The active ingredient Cinnarzine.
Valid travel insurance for offshore sailing.
Please remember that
space for stowage on board is limited so don't
overdo it. Put
all your stuff in a soft bag or ruck sack that
you can carry unassisted. Do not bring a suitcase.
You do need all this stuff. Several people didn't bring wellies last year. It's no fun being in salty, sodden shoes for a week and we don't have spare wellies onboard. Please don't bank on being able to buy things when you get to the boat.
We provide foul weather
gear.
For sailing in colder conditions we supply very
warm water proof suits as shown in the top photograph
on this page.
A certain amount of hand washing
can be done on board on longer voyages.
