[quote=MN3]sailing in fl we can sail year round but it gets cold
water is lower 50's now and gonna get worse
some lessons I learned about cool weather sailing (ymmv)
do NOT wear cheap "jogging" pants (nylon) - they are SLICK and can slide you off your boat in a tack or when you heel
do NOT wear fleece under a spray top - if you fall off it will now weigh 4000 lbs and make getting back on your boat very hard and if its under layers and not the top layer ... you now have to strip to get it off - not good in heavy seas
hands, head and feet determine the fun - if they are cold and miserable - so are you: I carry spare sets of dry gloves, a small towel, and i have some neoprene gloves with grip that work well too
Good booties are important - cheap ones will fail at a bad time[/quote]
