What do I need to bring?
- First of all - Bring a positive attitude! We're doing this for fun!
- Bring your boat and all parts thereto (unless you have arranged to crew for someone)
- Bring all prescribed safety equipment - 1) lifejacket, 2) wistle or horn, 3) a tow line(25'+), etc. We require that lifejackets be worn at all TASC events.
- Bring clothes appropriate for the weather - we strongly suggest a wet or dry-suit for when the water is cold in December and March
- Bring a sailing watch with 3-minute countdown - you may be the Race Committee today!
- Water, sunscreen, hat, shirt.
- On open water we sometimes use "Family Band" radios, usually set to channel 14. These are inexpensive and may be bought at places such as WallMart, Target or BassPro. A zip-loc bag will usually keep them dry.
- Members are issued one of our racing buoys each, so one person doesn't have to carry all of them around - please remember to bring your buoy.
- At Arkabutla and Horseshoe there is a $3-5 launch fee, so bring enough singles to pay at the ramp.
