How do you re-hydrate after a sail?
From that well known medical research journal "MX"
"Researchers in Spain have discovered that a pint of beer post-workout or match is better atrehydrating the human body than water.
Researchers believe it is the sugars, salts and bubbles in beer that may help people absorb fluids more quickly"
I drink water while sailing, but just luv that cold stubby of Coopers Green 
as I pack up.
Helps get the salt out of the mouth
At my local we can park on the beach at the edge of where we kite so I keep a bottle of water and some munchies in it.
I find if I re-hydrate(have a skull of water)every half hour or so and eat a mars bar or something,I can stay on the water all day.If I dont do this I feel de-hydrated after a few hours and tend to feel more worn out the next morning.
You tend to not realise how much fluids you are losing when your having a good session on the water.If you were doing something as energetic out of the water,you would be drinking water non stop.
use a camel back, have a drink when ever you want and you dont get salt water dry mouth
Yep the Camel pack is the way to go, such a guilty pleasure wave sailing and being able to have a drink whilst you are out
.
I find that really weak cordial like say half strength works the best. It gets rid of that salty taste and fixes up your tongue quick smart. If its too strong i find it makes me sick with all the salt water but mild cordial is the ****!

I have a (1.5L?) bladder built in to my life jacket and can easily empty it in a session.
I have a 1.5l camelback and thought it'd be a good idea to have a spare bladder for long sessions. Until I found the spare bladder cost more than the whole camelback 
Watching a show on SBS I thinks called Food Investigators.
They advise skim milk is the best fluid for rehydration. I don't like skim milk so I'll stick to water or beer.
