I'm off to Melbourne,
Australia in mid February to complete my Day Skippers practical. As I live and sail in SE
Asia, staying warm is generally not much of an issue, even in a tropical downpour, but I suspect I'll need some warmer
clothing and wet
weather gear for the 5days/4 nights of the course. I'm also familiar with "layering", having sailed dinghies in NZ.
So I've been contemplating
buying a wet
weather jacket and trousers, and have looked at Musto BR1 or LPX, Gill Coast Jacket and Burke CB10 ranges online. I'm mainly concerned that I might
purchase gear that is either an overkill or insufficient for the trip.
Anyone used the above on Port Phillip Bay during what I guess will still be summer, bearing in mind Melbourne's "four seasons in one day" weather
Any recommendations/advice would be appreciated....
