The spanners only come out if ya get to throwing distance in a race! No joking aside the mechanics overalls look just like race overalls but without the quilted insides! (bonus in the summer)

You will also need a wet-suit!
Got to have one for scrutineering and then it's your choice if you wear it in the races - but it can get mighty cold and wet in a Mannerfelt in a following sea

I used a shortie wet suit, with a top layer which was a l'weight spray jobbie, can get mighty cold on some days. and if you go in the water it's plucking cold. Add or remove layers as you want but it's so personal it's difficult for the perfect answer. You need to find what works for you. Same for gloves if any.
(fit in a couple of tinnies or flask somewhere and a round of sandwich's. Can turn a shitty mood, bad day around)

Ticks all the boxes on the 'Mr Noisy' pre race checklist.
Oh well, off to the LBS. Maybe see some of you there.
