Naturists are experts at "extra quality" skincare. High-SPF, biodegradable sunscreen is a must to protect sensitive skin from the intensified reflection of the sun off the water.

On a private vessel, the deck becomes a sanctuary of body positivity. Without the physical restrictions of wet fabric, movement around the boat feels more fluid. Whether you are winching a sail or simply sitting at the helm, the sensation of the morning breeze is the first reminder that you are truly "at one" with your environment. The Mid-Day Rhythm: Sun, Salt, and Sea

By noon, the sun is high, and the rhythm of the boat takes over. One of the greatest practical benefits of naturist sailing is the lack of "wet suit" discomfort. Traditional sailors often deal with damp swimwear that causes chafing or chills; the naturist simply dries off in the sun minutes after a dip in the ocean.
