With the sailing across the
South Pacific you'd expect the usual shorts, t shirt and sun hat to be the norm for sailing wear. But what is also really needed , is my question?
Do I need full ocean going wet
weather gear ?
What else? Example , a
wind stopper fleece? Light coastal jacket?
Gloves? How cold does it get at night?
Am going to
panama beginning Feb to try to hitch hike as crew on a yacht. Got some sailing experience but mostly in cold climates hence the question of what's needed here.
Expected
passage is
panama to
French Polynesia then onwards maybe to
Australia. No idea what kind of
boat etc I.e
dodger.
Any tips on what to take , as crew , would be appreciated? Hoping panama has some good sailing shops!
