Nathan Outteridge from Aus sails barefoot.  He was in the medal race.

I did a couple of days sailing the B14 bare foot, because i forgot my boots, thankfully it was summer, but it did make me think about where i was putting my feet a lot more, i would recomend it as a training exercise for anyone in a quick boat.  just the once though. 



Can't remember for sure but i think there was some 49er sailors barefoot at the olympics, i might be thinking fo something else though

I think it was the Australians, can just make them out in some of the photos

EDIT:

definitely the australians!

Thanks All,

 

In response to my original message regarding gloves. I have just bought some Gill extreme gloves from Pinnal and Bax. (there on offer at the moment with free delivery).

 

Hopefully this will cure my cold hand problem.  Thankfully I don't really get cold feet.

For cold feet.
3 layers: 1 normal thickish daily wear socks, 2 at least 3 mm thick neoprene socks (ensure they are not too tight), sailing boots with at least 3mm thick neoprene uppers. You'll need the boots a size bigger than normal.
And warm them all up before you put them on.
