Packing List for Crew

For your visit on board I suggest that you bring following items…

required gear

These are essential. We can improvise with stuff on board, but ideally you should own and bring:

• good, complete rain gear (jacket + pants)
• headlamp
• gloves
• bonnet / buffs
• sleeping bag or blanket
• dry bag (ideally for all your luggage / at least for delicate gear)
• money for return trip
• mojo

nice to have gear

Bring these if you have, but don’t bother buying them if it’s just for your crew role:

• neoprene (wetsuit)
• flip flops or water shoes
• water bottle
• knife (with serrated blade, for cutting rope)
• GPS watch (read coordinates, course + speed on your wrist, record tracks)
• smartphone / tablet
• inReach satellite messenger
• monocular
• sextant
• climbing shoes (if we encounter nice climbing spots)
• sour dough
• money for pizza

Rather bring 2 pairs of light, fast-drying shoes than 1 pair of heavy boots. Feet will get wet anyway. Better to have a dry pair while the other pair is drying.

recommended apps

Install these on your smartphone / tablet if you have time:

• Telegram
• Windy (the red one, free version is good enough)
• chartplotter / sailing app (Orca, Boating…)
• OsmAnd (download offline maps for our planned cruising area)
• PeakFinder (great to identify and simulate visibility of islands and mountains)
• Google Maps (download offline maps…)
• Google Keep (shared shopping lists)
• MirrorControl (remote access to onboard chartplotter)

don’t bother

Following equipment we have on board for crew - you can save that weight and leave your own at home:

• life vests + life lines (several)
• fins (1 pair)
• diving mask (2)
• helmets (2)

Note that we operate 230 V only on demand. Ideally your electric devices should run / charge on 12 V or USB, which we have plenty and always-on.
