on board: space is always scarce inside a sailing yacht. Try to bring only what you will really need. What will you really need?

the right mood to enjoy the wind, the sun... and specially an easy going mood and lots of sense of humour. You must take all this, apart from your luggage, inside a soft bag, never in a stiff suitcase. You will also need a sleeping-bag (some yachts have eiderdowns and sheets, please ask) Hygiene on board is a great virtue: do not forget your personal toilet items. Besides, for day time an eyeshade cap, sun glasses and UV sun cream. At evening and night, a raincoat and a warm pully. At any time, nautic shoes or white rubber sole shoes (indispensable on deck )
