What to wear: Autumn Layering

Kitbag Adjustments for the Autumn/Winter Season

This time of the year is my favourite and although the air temperature starts to drop, the water is still warm. Sea breezes and sea breeze effects have pretty much ended and sailing is on gradient winds.

The first thing I do with my weekend kit bag is take out any spandex base layers as these function as cooling layers. PolyPro on the other hand is naturally hydrophobic, comfortable and warming, ideal for cooler conditions. Prolong your favourite summer neoprene garments by wearing these hydrophobic base layers next to your skin.

Rooster MD Steve Cockerill, 2014 Laser Radial Master World Champion

Rooster MD Steve Cockerill, 2014 Laser Radial Master World Champion!

"A warm windy week shared with a world record 500 fellow Laser sailors from 37 countries to duke it out wherever you are in the field. The feeling of meeting up with like minded sailors is palpable. The Laser class IS made up of its sailors - not the builders. Many talk of the issues that are currently being resolved in court, like a frustrated child wishing their parents who appear to have no interest in their well-being battle it out for their future. Those named in court proceedings are all having to spend money to defend themselves - money that is only filling the pockets of lawyers not sailors."

However, despite the cloud that hangs over the proceeding court case, the numbers of sailors that turned up for this world championships both bolstered the bank balance of the ILCA to aid its defence and made the regatta the biggest Laser Masters Worlds in history. So for an experienced laser masters sailor, there were not many legends and comrades missing at this event, making it probably the most competitive ever. So my story of the week started with me feeling a little heavy for the prevailing conditions...

Happy Sailing!
