8	Hat	Necessary
9	Polarized Sunglasses	Necessary
10	Watch with countdown	Get that start! Get it!
11	Sailing gloves	Omg do not leave shore without these if you value your skin.
12	Life jacket	I prefer the old school dingy sailer type. Others like the fancy dancy new ones. User preference there, but you def want to bring your own so that you're not the goober in the nasty moldy orange one LOL
13	Extra tape	Ya never know. But, def need it to wrap halyard blocks
14	Protest flag	Doesn't count if you don't have the red flag!	I like velcro ones for the shroud
15	Knife	Might need it to cut a line; more likely a lime, but both are important :)
16	Whistle	Ok this one is dorky, take it or leave it but I added it on for the sticklers
17	Radio	Race committee, calling the launch, heckling the sea captains, whatever you like!
18	Dry bag for phone etc	It's all fun and games until a wave comes over the bow
19	Waterproof Sunscreen	Protip: bring expensive stuff for yourself, and cheap stuff for the dudes to slather on their biceps
