You can find packing tips here:
The crew usually meets between 2 and 4 p.m. in the marina or a nearby café.
From around 5 p.m., the skipper can board the yacht and carry out the handover. Meanwhile, the crew goes shopping.
Late arrival is possible in exceptional cases by arrangement.
Saturday is an organisation day - sailing usually takes place on Sunday after the safety briefing.
A sports bag or hiking rucksack is best.
Please do not bring a hard-shell suitcase - there is no storage space for it and it is always in the way.
Recommendation: Packing list on the website.
