To quote Sa users' No pics ' whatever... breasts are subjective to loose sailing laws (see smackdaddy posts)

Same here

Finally - a thread I can understand! Denise - you do know how to title a thread, eh? Instant classic I'd say.

BTW - I sail "without" myself.

My girls require support.

Ahh gravity...both a friend and an enemy...

 

[Writerhall]

For me it's a 'no' - and I'm 58 and barely go out to get my mail without 'support.' But on the boat? No.

I often think of the scene in the old movie "flash dance" where the girl removes her bra from under her sweat shirt very casually while in front of her love interest, most definitely a useful method for undergarment removal!

 

[WinterRiver]

Counterintuitively, when it's hot out, it's yes. Wearing a light wicking sports bra is way cooler and more comfortable than sweating without. They dry quickly after being soaked too, faster than many bathing suits.

I remember the Flashdance scene. I think most women are good at that move, but many guys didn't know about it until then.

A female crew member got tagged on the nipple by a flailing line while bra-less. A bra or swim top was always worn after that.

I read a mystery novel once where the captured woman surreptitiously dug out the wire in her underwire bra to stab the bad guy with.

Hmmm...another good reason, you never know what can happen on the high seas.

Maybe "Dead Calm" would have been a shorter movie...if only for an underwire.

My bras are so padded they qualify as a PFD. No free range here, I hate being called "sir".

 

[sailingdog]

LOL... you and my wife would have gotten along quite well...

That brings a whole new meaning to the term 'flogging'!! :laugher

 

[eryka]

Ugh, none for me if I can avoid it. They leave such horrible tan lines!

But seriously, I agree with the previous poster that it can sometimes be cooler with than without.

 

[Writerhall]

For me - I'm not talking shirtless, I'm talking bra-less. For hot days I usually find a thin, white cotton tee-shirt to be the coolest choice.

 

[TSOJOURNER]

It may help reduce boat yard costs.......... just sayin.

 

[Saildoggie]

Reminds me of a discussion on another board concerning sailing with fenders or bumpers out, we comfirmed that fenders no, but sailing with "bumpers" out was just fine!

 

[sailingdog]

Just be aware that cotton shirts, especially wet ones... provide little or no UV protection, and a really nasty sunburn can be the result. :

Sailing basics while at sea - "stow loose equipment". That goes for everybody and everything.
