What to bring on vacation on a sailboat: equipment for a cruise on a sailing boat in the Mediterranean

Bring all your belongings inside a drawstring bag! Those hard to be avoided because they are difficult to store.
The sheets if you have not requested as an option (25 € per booth) will be double those of the house, because the beds are 160 x 200.

Clothing
Boat can suddenly cold even in summer, especially if you sail at night, and it is appropriate to have leaders to overlap each other. Lightweight long-sleeved shirts to protect from the sun even if necessary, comfortable, lightweight pants, even long anti burn.
For the evening boat, a fleece suit is ideal!
Gloves Boat: If you are going to lend a hand in moving, get yourself a good pair of gloves from the boat, are very useful, but all things considered. There will not be needed!
Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.
A good heavy coat appropriate to the season. Not to be confused with wax which protects the water but very little from the cold. Swimwear .. will be your second skin! So take it at will!

Boat shoes
Normally the boat shoes ... it is never used! It is not a sailboat full of pitfalls and very livable spaces .. but it is a catamaran .. and you need it! So .. unless there are any medical reasons should be abolished ...!
Useful but a pair of shoes from the rock, you can bathe safely. Even the rubber sandals can go.

The wax
In case of bad weather and rough seas will be good to have one with a good seal. But it is also very well protected
Seasickness
E 'caused by the movement of the boat over the waves and its unexpected changes, especially in the beginning where the physical is not used. Symptoms may include nausea, cold sweat, vomiting, drowsiness, inability to move for fear that the discomfort increases, and the like. Give your stomach can help to get through and even lying down with eyes closed, as well as keep the air and watch the horizon do not look down with the boat moving. The place that causes the most distress at sea, is deck so if you run out avverttite discomfort or lie down immediately.
If you suffer from the ferry or car sickness, take along some remedy. I will mention a few:
- TRANSCOP patches to put behind the ear, lasting 4-5 days giving you plenty of time to get used to the swaying of the boat
- Travelgum (suitable for short voyages)
- Xamamina
- Homeopathy: Cocculus - Ginger
- Alternative Remedies: bracelets from the wrists, according to the principles of Shiatsu (in some cases do not work but they help a bit).
Natural defenses to seasickness: eat little and often especially dry foods, crackers, biscuits, bread, biscuits and surely help: eat healthy light, a few spirits! ... and drink if you are thirsty! The remedy the malaise prince catches you in navigating Put yourself at the Helm!

Medicine
Those usually used and may be useful.
Mask, snorkel (and fins) if you enjoy paddling and browse underwater
towel and / or shower towel (do not recommend the bathrobe!), and a good cruise!
Rules of Life boat that we like to meet
Resources on board are limited, especially WATER el 'ELECTRICITY, do not waste! You will find that while you soap your hands there is no reason to leave the open water that the sea water to flush from the body ... it just less than that at home! Pay attention to the lights on in empty car does not help anyone, and so on ... probably the way home you realize how many resources we waste normally.
If we are in port, we can "squander a bit more. If you smoke, do not always downwind and outside and throw the filter in the water, bring us a few years to digest!
If you do not cook, everyone will appreciate your offer to wash the dishes and tidying up .. unless you have asked the hostess!
If you can not do a thing does not do it before you have asked for an explanation, improvise can create problems.
And finally: After dinner, drink a glass of Mirto, better two!
But remember to offer it to others and have checked the stocks in the galley!
Happy Holidays
