The food products that are used in cycling are also excellent on the boat. The small energy bars or gels (that can easily be stored on the boat or stuffed in a pocket on your person) pack up to as much as 140 calories most of which are carbs. Or if you know you will hit a point during a regatta where you will be really tired, you can select a gel that has caffeine, sugar, and sustaining carbs to keep you going. And these products come in nice strong waterproof packaging.
