Genesee Yacht Club Women Skippers Regatta

1. We provided two 5 gallon dispensers of ice water with large signs. Our Notice of Race instructed sailors to bring a refillable water bottle. 2. We do not use or supply straws at all. 3. We used corning ware plates, real flatware, and glass for serving. We have steel buffet pans/chafing pan sets. We used fabric tablecloths. 4. Reusable fabric totes were given as skippers bags. We did not print sailing instructions but provided an image that sailors could copy to their phones. 5.
