Question: What do i wear on a sailing holiday?
Going on a holiday this summer to turkey to go sailing. Wondering what i should wear while sailing, obviously too hot for a wetsuit like i’d wear at my sailing club, but what do you recommend? I have board/swimming shorts and rash vests, and i’ll wear my boyancy aid, but do i need something more under my shorts for hiking? Or are board shorts not the right thing to wear? I’m gonna be sailing lasers btw, so i will be hiking :)
Thanks :)
Thanks for the answer Ed, i’m going to be in Turkey, on the Mediteranean, so i don’t think there’ll be many jellyfish about, but do you know of any specific hiking shorts, that are only shorts, with padded thighs? Cos that would be use ful. Also, do you think i should wear something under my swimming shorts (though they’re really more board shorts)?

well i’ll give you a list on what i would wear on my trip and see if it helps!: 1.) I have a no armed wet suit so i wear that
2.) swimming shorts are always useful and can be worn with just a rash vest.
3.) rash vest can be purchased cheaply online and are very warm and comfy.
4.)sailing shoes perhaps.
5.) life jacket
6.) if you are going to capsize a lot you would want to wear jelly fish repellant spray so you are not in danger of being stung believe me it hurts.
i hope this helps sorry if it doesnt please ghet back to me on this.

Hi again well if you look up online sailing shorts you will find hundreds of results but surf shorts will be fine. If you would like to wear shorts underneth your surf shorts look up on google ”Wet suit shorts” and look about you will probably be able to perches them at your local shop.
and dont forget sun lotion thje water will reflect you dont want skin cancer. if the laser has hikking exuiptment then you will want to get a hikking strap but i dont no much about them. thanks!!
