Dinghy Wear

Personally I advise anyone new to the sport to check out Decathlon. For about £100/£150 you can get good quality kit that will last long enough for you to figure out if you're hooked on the sport and want to splash out on more expensive stuff.

Get a wetsuit (Long johns are more popular these days because they let your arms move better but it's personal preference, most important part is that it fits properly), spray top, long sleeved rash vest, gloves and a buoyancy aid to start with and add a hat, thermal rashvest and salopettes in the autumn.
