UV rays are strong at sea, and sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses are all essential.
Regarding sunscreen, the biggest difference between the sunscreen used for sailing and the commonly used sunscreen is waterproof. A bottle of waterproof sunscreen with a large PA value is your best choice. The more "+" signs, the better. Wear sunscreen even on cloudy days, and apply it often.
Regarding sunglasses, it is not only the direct sunlight, but also the light reflected from the sea surface, deck, and sails. Only polarized glasses will not make your eyes tired.
Regarding the face mask, a face mask that can both shade and wind is the best choice for your sun protection.
2. Wear a pair of non-slip shoes
It is best to wear a pair of light-colored rubber soles, non-slip sneakers or sailing shoes for the first time on the boat to prevent slipping on the boat. If you wear high heels, flip-flops and other inappropriate shoes to the pier, go barefoot!
3. Wear a suitable life jacket
You should wear a life jacket when you participate in water sports, but it is not enough to wear a life jacket. You should adjust the laces to make the life jacket slightly tight to your body. In this way, the life jacket will not slip easily in the water.
4. Be careful of the phone falling into the water
Starting from entering the dock area, you must take care of your mobile phone, camera, wallet, and keys to prevent accidentally falling into the water. It is best to put these things in a waterproof bag in advance and bring them on board.
