Below is a packing guide for a flotilla or bareboat sailing holiday. It is only meant to be a guide, you should give much consideration to when and where you’re travelling to. Turkey in August is very different to Scotland in February for example. It also varies on what you are doing and who with. In the canaries the sailing courses include blankets, which are more than sufficient, whereas the sailing schools in the UK don’t provide anything so a sleeping bag is required. If you feel we’re really missing something then please don’t hesitate to let us know:
