What this video covers

Cold-weather sailing gear packing for a winter race with nearly 60 boats, sailed aboard Eira Naustvik's newly purchased DL 38 based in Strømstad.▶ 0:13 The crew plans to sail the boat to Bolærne on Thursday to test the course before racing Friday.▶ 0:18 Conditions are forecast to include fresh wind and sub-zero temperatures, so the packing strategy centers on layering.▶ 0:00 Base layers covered include a silk-wool blend shirt from Northern Playground, a wool mesh vest from Janus (small holes create insulating air pockets), and synthetic sun-protection fabric that slides smoothly between layers.▶ 1:37 Mid-layers include a knitted wool sweater, a wool shorts garment for sitting in the cockpit, and a fleece or wool sweater.▶ 3:05 Outer layers include a heavy Helly Hansen winter rain jacket and ski pants in place of full-length salopettes for easier toilet access.▶ 3:49 A down jacket is packed for warmth at anchor but flagged as dangerous if wet.▶ 3:10 A sailing life vest is worn under the jacket.▶ 4:33 Extremities are covered with thin wool hats and a branded cap.▶ 4:45 The core principle: layer like an onion and adjust for the temperature swings between active deck work and long stationary cockpit watches.▶ 0:48
