Sailboat racing has lots of expensive equipment what do I need for equipment?
Common myth that it is expensive to crew on a racing sailboat. You do need some basic equipment. You should dress appropriately for the weather and wear shoes with non marking soles. While racing, shoes must always be worn, no exceptions. Gym shoes are just fine (light colored soles only). Bring a sweater or jacket especially for the spring and fall races. It may be 80 degrees on shore but on the lake it can be quite a bit cooler. I have lots of sailing gloves and a few sets of cheap foul weather gear for you to borrow, but it is a good idea to get your own.
