What suitcase to choose?
Let's start right from the choice of suitcase: on a sailing boat, space to stow luggage is perforce limited, so a rigid and bulky trolley is highly inadvisable. Much better to use a soft duffle bag that can be folded into a small space.

How many clothes to bring?
The classic mistake of first-time sailors is to carry too much stuff with them, which will remain unused and only take up valuable space. On a boat you spend most of your time outdoors, with very few things on you.
