We bring 5 beers for the ride in on the J24. In a small cooler down by the keel for big events. (includes the Worlds in Newport last year, which could be an hour+ sail/motor to and from the course).

For club and smaller races we may have a couple extras.

We dry sail the boat during the week, so have to hoist it in and out each time we race.

We never have a problem with putting the boat away or any of the other associated chores.
