Default what to wear?

imagineero wrote:

what do people wear on these boats? does everyone just wear normal
clothes (jeans/shirts?) and have a pair of foulies to wear on top? Id
rather be warm and look silly than the other way around.... any
suggestions?


Depends on the weather, but I tend to always wear hi-fit foulie trousers
(good for sitting on wet side decks) and woolly socks inside yachtie
wellies. I usually wear thin synthetic thermals next to the skin, polycotton
trousers under the foulie trousers, and a fairly windproof non-waterproof
shirt. If it's wet or the wind is cold, a jacket on top. I rarely feel a
need for a fleece, other than a fleece hat if it's chilly. (Europe, 56degN.
Most sailing has been round-the-cans racing, so not much time to sit about
and get cold.)
