Marysunshine Posted January 12, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2005 We've booked the America's Cup but neither of us can swim. can you tell me if they give you life jackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruztime Posted January 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Marysunshine, They do provide life jackets if you wish but you will definitely NOT need them. The boats used are not small sailing boats. They are in the neighborhood of 50 ft. The boats are sailed by very experienced crew members several of which when we were there were professional sailboat racers between gigs. It is an absolute blast! Don't forget to buy the photo they'll take from a Zodiac that will be following you. How they got such a good shot while bouncing all over the place is beyond me. Also, they have a free killer rum punch at their shop after the sail. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzns4us Posted January 14, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Cruztime - did you have enough time to visit a beach and do some shopping after your sailing? Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachchick Posted January 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2005 cruztime: I think I understand what you are saying, but no experienced sailor would tell you that you do not need a life jacket while sailing on a boat. You do not necessarily have to wear them (some places are more casual than others), but why on earth would someone who cannot swim not wear one? Anything can happen, even on the finest sailing ships with the finest, most experienced crews. Even experienced, strong swimmers who sail often wear them. beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
