What are the key points?• Staying comfortable – including warm (avoid jeans – heavy and cold when wet)• Most heat lost through the head• Staying warm usually means staying dry• Heat loss is accelerated if your skin is wet and exposed to evaporation• Simple windproof jacket and trousers will usually suffice• Maybe accept that you will get wet and use a wetsuit or dry suit

• Suitable footwear is essential

• Buoyancy aid designed to help conscious person stay afloat, most often associated with dinghy sailing• Lifejacket (inflatable) will support an unconscious person and should turn them on their back with their face

clear of the water. Often self inflate when immersed in water (not good for a dinghy sailor or windsurfer)
