i believe pinnies cost far less than PFDs and are more on the order of what a t-shirt costs. while it's bad to make the sport more expensive for the 'little guys', the pinnies do a lot in publicizing collegiate sailing (making it clearer for non-sailors, press, etc., to understand our sport more clearly).

if your team is having a hardship affording these, i recommend seeking assistance from your district (they may be able to help out).

From someone who sailed on a club team, this rule seems to just make
more expense for them.  It was already a huge challenge for us to make
it to Intersectionals and a large portion of the travel money came out
of our pockets.  Making this a requirement for all Intersectionals
will just make it more of an expense for the smaller teams.  I can see
it being a good idea for NAs and big championships, but please keep
the "little guys" in mind.  Intersectionals were where I honed my
skills and really got fast.

Rashgaurds generally go under lifejackets. They are meant to fit close to the body. Rashguards were first used as a surfing layer. Large T shirts
maybe?

Kevin:

Almost all of the 29er-49er-505 Guys are wearing a rash guard or DryGuard over their entire outfit including the harness with a slot cut out for the trap
hook. Same thing for the Kite Board guys.
