Hey Guys,
I was wondering at what water temperature I should start sailing. I would be sailing lasers and 420s. Heres what I have to keep me warm.
Feet: 1.5mm neoprene socks, dinghy boots
Pants: 1.5mm long pants
top: Under Armor, and a spray top
What water temperatures would you sail in, with only these things.
Thats not alot of warm kit. I sail all winter and would need alot more than that to keep warm, I sail RS Feva and 29er so both also dinghys that will be getting spray on me. I would say you could sail in light winds but wait for defo over 10 degrees C cause if u get rly wet I think you will gert cool pretty fast. Might be worth getting hot top and legs and a aqua fleece instead of spray top
That isn't much clothing, you could sail in some reasonably cold conditions if you also wore a couple of woolen jearseys and a wooley hat. I wouldn't want to sail in under about 18 degrees c just wearing that. It depends on how long you r going out for though of course.
