Quoting from our Bylaws:

Sect.4. The Race Day Team shall consist of one member at large responsible for setup and takedown of the race day equipment, plus one member at large to act as Race Director. The Race Director shall not race for the day. At the end of the race day, the Race Director will be awarded the same points score as the second place finisher for each class that they own a boat and regularly race.

NOTE:

Only the RD gets the second place finish, as that individual is not racing.  Anyone assisting with setup and takedown is expected to race as usual.

What is expected of RD:

• Evaluate wind prediction and wind on race day.

• Set a course that is favorable for windward/leeward racing.

• Ensure seven races are run per class for the schedule of the day, if feasible, due to wind

• Announce the start of the race and "Clock is ON!"

• Call the starting line (OCS violations); General Recall if absolutely necessary

• Take PHOTOS of racing for the day and get them to the webmaster for posting online

• Call the finish line and record the finish order

• Make sure the final score sheets are sent to our scorer

What is expected of Setup:

• Unlock the job box

• Get all equipment out of the job box

• Inflate the dinghy

• Bring dinghy, marks, start timer, (and dock if at Columbia), pond side

• Bring tripod and score sheets pond side

• Help RD set a course

• Recover all marks after the end of racing for the day

• Return dinghy, marks, equipment, to the job box

• Deflate and fold the dinghy

• Put all equipment back into the job box

• Lock the job box
