Briefing:9:00am - Saturday 23rd Mar 2019
Finish:11:30am - Saturday 23rd Mar 2019
The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron and Yachting QLD have come
together to give any interested RQYS volunteers and instructors an exclusive
chance to attend a FREE Club Race
Officers Course on the 16th and 23rd of March 2019.
Normally there is a $65.00 fee for the course, but we have been able to arrange
the free sessions to encourage all volunteers and instructors to attend the
course as a chance to improve your knowledge base of the rules and processes of
Sailing Race Management.
The course will be held from 0900-1130hrs on both Saturdays,
with the 2.5 hour long sessions covering off all aspects of race management. The
course takes the place of the other sessions for Race management planned for
these two days. It was decided to give
as many volunteers as possible the full benefit of this course in order to support
the theory and practical training sessions we are currently running.
This seminar is ideal for people taking part in the Race Management
and Course Laying sessions as it will explain what is happening on the
Start/Finish boats and give the course layer and crew a better understanding of
flags and what they might have to do if a race needs to be shortened or
abandoned.
The CRO seminar is also aimed
at educating volunteers in the basics to conduct consistent, fair and safe club
racing.
Even if you don’t plan on becoming a CRO or higher (State,
National or International Race Officer), this is a chance to really get a good
grounding in the rules of racing and how a race officer determines the course
bearings, length of the course, flags and associated sounds and more!
