However, each team is required to supply a safety boat with a supervising adult or coach on the water each day, and a "shore adult" in case of emergency. Smaller teams may share coaching/shore adult responsibliities but that should be arranged amongst yourselves. No more than 6 sailors to 1 coach/adult.
