We are looking forward to welcoming you on board Melodrama. Please pack soft travel bags only, no wheely bags!
Here is a list of things we would like you to bring with you, which will make our time more enjoyable.
Bath towels A large bag to carry your towels etc to morning marina facilities
Your own medication Your preferred sea sickness cures – we have Stugeron on board
Sailing gloves if you have them (but we will have old spares)
Non-slip non-marking shoes – trainers are fine
A waterproof sailing jacket or outdoor walking jacket. We have spare thin wet weather waterproof trousers so you could leave bulky wet weather sailing trousers at home. Hopefully we’ll not need them
Clothes for a Northern Irish summer – both warm clothes and shorts and T-shirts, a warm fleece.
Swimwear, sunglasses, sun hat, sun cream
It’s unusual to get decent wifi in harbours, so you will need to have data roaming on your phone. 5G reception is excellent in most places.
Here are some of the things we will have on board that you will not need to bring:
Duvets, duvet covers, sheets, pillows and pillow cases
Life jackets Harness lines
5A hairdryer
First aid kit
USB charging outlets – you do t need to bring a charger, in fact there is nowhere to plug it in
For your comfort and convenience we have on board:
cabin heating
USB charging ports built into the light fittings in each cabin, for use when we are plugged into shore power or under engine.
Hot and cold running water, providing the tanks have been filled up!
a small holding tank for WC waste in anchorages
a fridge with freeze box (for ice!)
a bow ladder and side gates in the guardrails
All the port lights (windows) have fly screens.
See you soon!
