 Race Committee Training is not just for the Race Chair (PRO) but all members of the RC.  So if you are interested or if you've already volunteered to help on a Race Committee, please come to this informative, user -friendly session.  No experience is needed, just interest.

Some of the topics to be discussed:-

·         Each RC position and responsibilities

·         How to do each RC job – Signal boat, Mark boat, etc.

·         Working as a team for Organization, Start, Finish, and Scoring

·         RC checklists

·         Where to set up a race course (Local knowledge)

·          RC boats operation

Each participant will be given a copy of the FBYC Race Committee Manual and US Sailing’s “Join the Race Committee Team”.  Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.   Stay tuned. 

We want a big group, so please register on-line on the FBYC web site or call Rick Klein (804-693-5629)
