Gear

As a general rule the more advanced and the more seasons you sail, the more you will need. Personal gear for summer sessions is minimal. Equipment and gear for Winter/Spring sailing can be significant. Sailing gear tends to be quite specialized and sometimes costly. Therefore, when you purchase new gear, buy quality gear that will be durable and permit use for multiple seasons. Items like gloves wear out quickly and are easily lost so you might want to carry a spare pair.

Label all of your gear with a permanent marker! Your gear will look like other sailor’s items.
