Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

If you dress like that Great, but just be aware that your also secretly being laughed at. Sailing is not about fashion or trying to look like your a fashion model. .

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

I had a couple in the next slip at Marsh Harbor who looked like that. They had a mega yacht and servants. I secretly called the male partner Biff, and the (much younger) female accessory Mrs Howell. My wife laughed at my imaginary conversations with Biff. At the time, I was working most days down in the lazarette, rebuilding my auto-pilot mount for the trip back to Florida, complete with many dropped tools and associated cursing. At one point, I stuck my head up, dripping with sweat, dazed from the heat, and Biff was standing there on the dock.

He looked like he was approaching my vessel to say something like, "I say, my dear man, your atrocious language is offending my female accessory" or something like, but he made eye contact with me, seemed to think better of it, and turned on his heel to return to the air-conditioned lounge of his yacht. It still makes me chuckle.

Tons of people in East Hampton.

Mostly people who own yachts, but don’t actually do the yachting.

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

Note the lack of lifelines on those old yachts...Even the wealthiest here only wear a t-shirt and shorts and a few might wear a baseball cap. I just skip the shirt. No one owns a boat to show off; they use them to go fishing for the most part and most are motorboats. There are only 6 sailboats larger than a Hobie here...

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

It’s common in some of the snootier yacht clubs in New England and Long Island, NY. Especially for dinner and/or parties. (I can name a few but probably should not.)

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

I was once told a gentleman is not properly dressed unless he owns a sailing boat.
No mention of what I was wearing at the time, which was probably sun bleached with holes worn through.

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

Sometimes expected at the “Royal” clubs for dinner but not while actually sailing.

Re: Yacht Wear: Anybody Dress Like This?

One of my funny memories from my long ago formative years:

My dad invited one of his SCUBA buddies to dive a wreck. Buddy was a physician, and brought his arm candy along for the ride. She was wearing the full yachting get up, and seemed somewhat offended when she saw that she was apparently going to have to take the little 21' tender out to the real boat.

Slowly, it sunk in that there was no real boat, we actually were going OUT THERE in the little boat. And she was going to watch 2 guys change into wetsuits....

She was not fully prepared when 2 guys climbed back into the boat after rooting around in, through, and under a shipwreck. She could not comprehend that they were talking about having a great dive, while they were covered with sticky, smelly, and generally gross stuff. Please mind my clothes!

I think Tom traded her in on a new version of arm candy shortly thereafter.
