Back to Practice

Though the college teams have been on the water since late January or early February, most high school teams are just getting started. As you prepare for the new season, a few things to keep in mind.

1. Registration & Dues - make sure that all of your paperwork has been filed correctly with NESSA
2. Schedule - if you plan on competing in the O'Day, you need to have completed at least three meets before the qualifiers begin. Given the weather of these past few weeks - and what is forecast for this week - that may be easier said than done.
3. Gear - the water is cold. Is your team fully dressed? At St. George's, we still have some new sailors looking for lifejackets and dry suits. Our first day on the water, yesterday, proved that many of our sailors are not layering properly under their drysuits. While this sounds simple, it's worth reviewing.

If you are a new team or coach this season, and have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sail Fast and Good Luck!
