• Come dressed ready to sail! Bring extra layers, it's cooler on the water than on campus.
• You must bring a valid MIT ID and complete your daily health attestation before arriving.
• You must be able to swim — no exceptions. You should be able to meet the standard MITNA swimming requirement, but do not need to present proof.
• Pre-registration is required. Click the "Registration" link above (when available) to register.
• Bring a snack, a hat, wear sunscreen, and avoid bringing much of value with you.
