Dressing Suggestions

Wear comfortable and fitting clothes and non-slip white-soled deck shoes that won't dirty the beautiful deck, similar to taking off shoes when entering someone else's house, to show respect and maintain cleanliness.

Wear a sun-protective sailor hat, sunscreen, and preferably sunglasses with protective straps. Bring warm clothing to resist the sea breeze; waterproof jackets can keep the body dry. Wearing gloves while working can protect your hands when handling ropes. Waterproof bags and all-weather sailing clothes are the best equipment for harsh weather conditions.

Boarding Etiquette

When boarding for the first time, pay attention to boarding etiquette.

First, obtain the captain's permission before boarding, like being invited to enter someone else's house. Be very careful when boarding, bend your foot backward when crossing the gangway to maintain your body's center of gravity, place personal belongings in the appropriate position in the cabin after boarding, and prevent them from falling into the water when the boat tilts.

"Think for Yourself"

Sailboats often tilt or unexpectedly tilt, especially for beginners not yet accustomed to moving on a tilting boat. Remember to "think for yourself," "one hand for yourself, one hand for the boat." Holding onto the ropes, cabin roof poles, or any fixed device on the boat can help you stand firm.

When moving, bend your body slightly, keep your center of gravity low, and be careful not to bump into crossbars or let them bump into you. Always remember to walk on the deck on the windward side for safety.
