As well as swimwear and a towel you will need to bring your own footwear (wetsuit boots or trainers), a waterproof top and gloves. The club can provide you with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet.
In a dinghy it is easy to get hit on the head by the boom (the metal bar at the bottom on the sail) when learning to sail so a helmet is a good idea. All children under the age of 16 MUST wear a helmet on beginner training (Stages 1, 2 & 3 or Levels 1 & 2). Once attending club youth improver sessions it is at the discretion of parents, but all participants must always follow the advice of the instructors/ coaches leading the session.
Adult beginners are advised to wear a helmet, especially in windy conditions and when first learning in a single hander.
For windsurfing, all children under the age of 16 MUST wear a helmet.
