Passports and EHIC
If your voyage is likely to sail to foreign shores, group/individual passports and European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will be required. The EHIC is a replacement for the old E111 and is free. Application forms are available from the Post Office or via the internet.

Your voyage may not leave British waters so please discuss the need for passports with your Skipper. If individuals within your group have difficulty in obtaining passports or the cost is prohibitive your Skipper will plan your voyage accordingly.

Electrical items
Hair dryers, straighteners and razors can be brought on board although use may be restricted to times when the vessel is connected to mains electricity. However, we recommend they are left at home except on longer voyages - hair styling is not a priority for crew members on a sailing vessel.

MP3 players etc may be allowed for personal use below deck if not on watch or involved in activities.
