Race Committee & Boat Instructions
Decision to Race Based on a Risk Assessment
Race Committee Service Sign-Up (please make sure to review the RC requirements (below) as you sign up for RC service)
RC Service Requirements for Skippers
Skippers must fulfill Race Committee (RC) obligations for each series they wish to be scored in—Frostbite, Spring, or Fall. Spring and Fall requirements are independent of each other, and fulfilling one does not count toward the other. However, Skippers may carry over one RC slot from Spring to Fall.
Sign-up opens one month before each series, and Skippers who fail to sign up for at least half their required slots before the series begins may not be scored for that series.
-
Serving as Regatta Chair (highlighted in light orange) or Principal Race Officer (PRO) during a Spring, Fall Series, or a Regatta (highlighted in orange) counts as 2 RC slots.
-
All other RC roles — including serving as PRO during the Frostbite Series — count as 1 RC slot.
