With dark blue trousers (yachting suit) - black shoes.

With white trousers - deck shoes.

Yes I do, but have had seeds of doubt sown by a well bred acquaintance.

I'm also told that "Blazer" is not correct, it's a "Boating jacket".

Brown deck shoes (although blue are acceptable).

There I was, at a dinner at the RYS (brown deck shoes, with a hint of blue Cruiser Uno, since you asked), and I went for a wee.

Can you believe it? - at the urinal on my right was *Sir* Robin Knox Johnston!

So I turned to him and said "Hey Billy-Bob!, bet you never thought you'd ever be having a wazz at the Royal Yacht Squadron, right next to McFrame!"

And he said;
"Hey, McF, High Five right back at you" ?

One thinks not,

More like;
"OMG, who let this YBW forumite in here, Steward, STEWARD..."

Was it an open day?

More specifically a "Reefer" but blazers probably as acceptable as blue shoes.

So again with the feminine angle here (but not feminist, I'd genuinely like to know!), what constitutes Cowes Rig for women?

 

[l'escargot]

There I was, at a dinner at the RYS (brown deck shoes, with a hint of blue Cruiser Uno, since you asked)...

Last time I was there I was in dinner suit with a pair of black steel toecap safety boots. When getting dressed to go out I had fogotten that on the previous occasion I had arrived home with aching feet and thrown out my only pair of black shoes saying "I must remember to get another pair"...
