We still need two parents to tow coach boats. If you are available to help, please let one of us know. Also, parents please pack snacks and waters to put on the coach boats. It is really important that sailors are staying hydrated and drinking plenty of liquids. Last practice, I had 5 kids ask me for water because they didn’t bring their own. Please make sure your child has more than enough.
