US Sailing One Day Race Management Seminar

January 12 2019

Join us for US Sailing's One Day Race Management Seminar, instructed by Area B Race Officer Cynthia Parthemos.

This seminar is for people who have some Race Committee (RC) experience, but newcomers are also welcome. Topics include RC objectives and responsibilities, regatta safety, writing sailing instructions, RC jobs, equipment, setting the course, starting system, starting penalties, before the start, during the race, finishing and scoring.

What to Bring: You will need your own copy of The Racing Rules of Sailing.

Study Materials: You should answer the One Day Race Management Seminar Study Questions, which will help you find your way around the rule book.

The Club Race Officer certification test, available online at the conclusion of the seminar, is optional. In order to be certified as a US Sailing Club Race Officer, however, you must attend a complete seminar and pass the test, as well as own a copy of The Race Management Handbook and meet the program’s other criteria. More information can be found on the Race Officers page.
