Seabag Inventory
Sailing on the Chesapeake often means experiencing variable weather conditions, such as hot and humid days with chilly mornings and evenings. Be prepared! Bring weather-appropriate clothing for sailing and casual attire for trips ashore.
Think about:
- Layers, such as t-shirt/shirt/sweatshirt/jacket to stay comfortable as temperatures rise and fall.
- Sleepwear as sailboats do not allow for much privacy. Light cotton shorts and tee shirts work well. For bedding, bring a pillow and a light sleeping bag, sleep sack, or sheets and a quilt.
The following is a list of what members should bring. Mandatory items are in Bold. You should bring your items in a soft sided bag (without wheels for easy storage of the bag).
