Weather conditions in Marina del Rey can be (and usually are) very different from conditions only a few miles inland. Be prepared for both warm and cool temperatures. And, remember, sailing is a water sport, so be ready to get wet!

• Closed-toe, non-leather shoes with non-marking (light colored, not black!) and non-slip soles
• Sunscreen and a hat
• Sunglasses (with Croakies® or a cord to keep them on)
• Clothing appropriate for water activities and the expected weather conditions (fleece is good, cotton and denim are not; consider "layering")
• Bring a lunch or snack and plenty of water (or be prepared to go off site to eat). Sorry, we do not have vending machines on site.
• Change of clothing and shoes
• Towel and bathing supplies
• Lock (for day use lockers)

• Valuables (flotation is inversely proportional to value)
• Cell phones, pagers or any item that might be subject to water damage

• Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
• Wet suits (free during classes)
• Rack for keys available in the issue room
• Day-use lockers (bring your own lock)
• Bike rack

• Sailing gloves (especially for upper-level classes)
• Boat shoes with non-skid, light colored non-marking soles
• Dinghy sailing boots or wet suit booties
