BAG FEES
We recommend that you bring a carry-on for this short trip, as that will allow the transportation process to proceed more smoothly. If you choose to check your bag, you will be responsible for covering your baggage fees.
American Airlines bag fees are $25 for the 1st bag and $35 for the 2nd bag. 1 free personal item and 1 free carry-on is allowed.
Be sure to pack light. Your baggage cannot weigh over 50 pounds or you will incur an additional surcharge.
 
TSA LIMITS

Please be mindful of TSA limits.  The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) places limits on the amount of liquid you can carry on. Liquids (such as gels, lotions, etc.) in a carry-on bag must be three ounces or smaller and packed together in a quart-sized, clear plastic bag. For more detailed information, please visit the TSA’s website.

Newport, RI is historically in the mid 70s during the day and high 50s to low 60s in the evening.
While you’ll be okay wearing shorts during the day, you will probably want a sweater or light jacket and pants in the evenings. You will definitely want to bring a jacket for the sail as it may be cool in the morning.
