What to expect and prepare your offshore sailors for next…

Our head coach will reach out to you to set up a work date to prep the boats for the season.  We will then confirm the practice times for the next few weeks.  Expect a few practices to be overnights around Block Island and beyond as we get the team ready for offshore racing.

Boats, Gear, and Volunteers…

Please make sure sailors are dressed for sailing (drysuits, smocks, gloves, boots, hats) as we sail in ALL weather, rain, wind, snow, and sun.  Please bring a snack and water-bottle as well.   Each season we see sailors become limited by the clothes they have… dress for success… you would not go onto the ball field without cleats!

Sailors should be ready to sail BY the start of practice each day, we are not paying coaches to get the boat ready, so you should plan to arrive early enough to be ready to sail on time.

Parents and sailors – Please ask how you can help... we are a volunteer team and there is always something that needs to be done each week.  Thank you for being part of our team.  We really hope to create a good experience for everyone!

MudRatz Mission statement: The mission of the MudRatz is to complement local youth sailing programs by enabling sailors to improve as a team and travel around the world.
