What to Bring to Regattas
Regattas are day-long events so dress appropriately for the weather. Layers are best. Don't forget hats and gloves, as weather dictates. For spectators, comfortable shoes are important because regattas can involve lots of walking - to and from the boats, parking lots and the tents, along the 5K and 2K courses, and to the results board and awards presentations.
Each regatta, Dublin Crew sets up tents for the athletes' rest and relaxation and for food service. Meals and food service items (plates, utensils, cups, napkins) are provided for athletes and families.
Also, remember the items you agreed to contribute via SignUp Genius.
