Sailing Team Dry Suit and Equipment Needs

Every Sailor must have the following to sail:

1. DRY SUIT

Each sailor is required to have a dry suit. The temperature of the water during our season is just above 32 degrees and would cause hypothermia so for the safety of the individual, as well as the supervision of the entire team, every sailor must wear a dry suit until the coach states otherwise.
