Synthetics, anything but cotton, trouble is, if you're like most of us

most
of your tees are cotton. I would definitely bring swim trunks, I sailed
across the Atlantic primarily in 2 pair of trunks and about half a dozen
tees. If the weather is warm you can wear trunks and tees in the day and
night, cover up with your bib and jacket if it gets too chilly. Beware the
dewpoint. If you happen to be sitting in the cockpit when the dewpoint
occurs, everything you're wearing will be damp. The nice thing about the
trunks is they wash easily and dry quickly. Wipes! You know, baby wipes or
something similar. I've been out several times and thought it would be

great
to have several boxes for light clean-up, always manage to forget to bring

a
box or two.
