Must bring your own: |

Sun protection – Sun glasses, sun hat and non oily sun cream (without carotene) are a definite must!
Music / DVD – there is a CD on the boat, so please bring with you a CD or 2.
Mobile phone charging – There is a 12v “cigarette” style socket on board the yacht which is live even when sailing, and a 240v socket (Spanish type) for when connected to shore power.
Medication – If you are taking any medication please advise your Instructor on commencement of the course.
Health care – Health care in the Canary Islands is good, but it is a good idea to collect the EHIC form from your local post office or online at www.ehic.org.uk.
Seasickness - It is advisable to bring with you a seasickness remedy if you have suffered in the past. There is a local chemist nearby – ask your Instructor where it is on arrival.

Recommended clothes |
|
The climate in the Canaries is temperate. You are recommended to bring with you shorts and t-shirts, a jumper/cardigan, long jeans/trousers and jumper for the odd cooler evening in the winter months, shoes with non-marking bottoms for use on the boat, swimwear and something for dinners ashore. As the boat has limited storage space a sailing bag / holdall is the most suitable luggage.
