Poll . Do you sometimes wear pygamas on the boat ?

[Snowgoose-1]

I have two pairs for the boat. One pair being lightweight and one pair winter weight.

At the moment, I think the whole household are still wearing them.

Surely, it's part of being British .

 

[Roberto]

No pyjamas on the boat, but I sometimes wear foul weather gear + harnesses/tethers at home (nautical types ), if that counts

 

[Frogmogman]

I actually wear a nightshirt, but I’ve counted that as jimjams.

 

[Baggywrinkle]

I wear shorts/t-shirt pyjamas so I can wander on deck without putting the rest of the anchorage off their breakfast .... once had an altercation with 2 elderly, Germans (who were obviously fond of their Würst and Bier) on a small motorboat who were convinced I'd laid my anchor over theirs .... I was 15m clear at least ..... but the memory of the two of them standing on their foredeck stark bollock naked, screaming their heads off lives on.

 

[rogerthebodger]

No never it mostly too damn hot

In summer then only thing I have on is the Fan and no bed cloths

At home also no pyjamas also and in the summer we have the aircon on

I am the same, for similar reasons. You never know, on a boat, if you’ll be needed on deck with 15 seconds notice. What would Bear Gryls say?

I sleep in a set of thermal underwear. Straight onto deck if needed, with or without waterproofs. And boots ready to go next to the bunk. Have been known to live in them for 24 hours!

 

[PhillM]

Sleep in pants and tee. On a boat like mine you pack light!

 

[oldmanofthehills]

PJs stop sweat soiling the sheets or duvet if hot and keep me warm if cold. Last night Navigator needed a shawl as well.

Just as importantly, if I need to attend to anchor or warp in a hurry them I would sooner be clothed. I remember anchor dragging due to own fault in Barry Harbour and unexpectedly looking up at pier, so shooting on deck in the nude I was so glad no one was there to see my naked error

 

[Fr J Hackett]

The only time I have worn pyjamas since I left school nearly 60 years ago was when I have been in hospital.

 

[neilf39]

Pyjama bottoms in summer and full pyjamas and hoodie in winter.

 

[steveeasy]

PJs, shorts, pants, what ever next. Think I’ll dodge the question. Sleeping arrangements can really change from a warm sunny night on a pontoon berth to sleeping after a dramatic tiring sail. Let’s not forget winter nights at -10, in that instance I’ve been known to sleep with sails as additional bedding. Needs must.

It has to be bloody cold for me to wear just a light tee shirt for sleeping on the boat.

I dont own any PJ's, not since I was a child.

I sleep naked, have done since I left home.

First Mate has a dressing gown on the boat and always wears until she is washed and dressed.

We have summer and winter duvets, never cold sleeping on board.

 

[Snowgoose-1]

You might as well keep them on all day.
A study has proven just how much we wear our pyjamas when not sleeping

 

[PlanB]

In northern France we were once berthed next to a blue ensign jobbie who appeared in a silk dressing gown with a cup and saucer.

Absolutely the thing to do if you're aboard something like this

One simply has to maintain standards,,,

I bet that you have never been burgled

 

[Daydream believer]

I suppose a warm mistress helps, even in cold climes

 

[rogerthebodger]

Acutely we have.

We had someone reach through our open washboards and try to steal SWMBO's handbag

I jumped out of bed when I heard someone on deck, buck naked and verbally attacked the thief.

They ran off very quickly. Don't know it it was the verbal attack or seeing me buck naked
