What to wear sailing – professional sailor Pip Hare

Want to know what to wear when you're offshore sailing? Record-setting professional sailor Pip Hare makes sure that when she leaves dock she has the appropriate kit for any eventuality at sea – so she's protected no matter the weather that comes her way. She always recommends a base layer, midlayer and a waterproof outer layer, as well as waterproof shoes, a life jacket and sunscreen.

Bumped into your parents today in Woodbridge coop. Their Medallia jackets gave them away. Anyway, I think what you’re doing is flipping amazing. Good luck in everything you do!!

It doesn't matter how high tech the pants are,
if you're sitting in a puddle in the cockpit you WILL get wet.
And wet = miserable on a boat.
The pants should be PVC which is totally waterproof, unlike breathable fabrics
which by their very nature will leach water if immersed long enough.
