What do you take with on a yacht?

Answer 1

Comfortable, Soft-soled shoes! Heels, slick leather soles, stiff shoes are either a poor choice or unsafe gamble. All but the biggest yachts, whether sail or motor have floor and walking space at a premium. On most, it's a surface that rarely level, steady, or free of toe-stubbing and ever tripping hazards. Door (hatch) ways are heavily silled for support and to hold back water. For sailors, if you don't tip it at least a little, you're not moving... then there are the lines, halyards, and sheets. On every boat, there are lines, chains, ropes that shift, roll, slide. All this on decks that are at various times wet and slippery. No one likes to rub off scuff marks. And for the lady who wears spikes on the beautiful teaks, woods, and areas known as brightwork.... You might as well be wearing Golf spikes.
