I'm with Biggles on this - thermal base layer, fleece undersuit, drysuit, ballaclava, Gecko, gloves. My HH Vhf, knife, personal flare pack are all attached to my lifejacket. I did my safetyboat course on the first weekend in March and I spent about 10 mins in the water righting a capsized dinghy - I didn't feel cold at all.
Now all I need is a decent sized boat so I can go out in the cold rough stuff!
