U.S. Sailing will be presenting two, one-day, seminars on January 21st and 22nd. These seminars are focused on training for Race Officials.
Race Officials are sailors like you who volunteer their time because they enjoy the work and because they believe in the importance of giving back to the sport. They run races, make umpire calls on the water, hear protests and redress requests. Online testing for certification is included for each workshop.
Judges Seminar, Saturday (Jan. 21st, 0830-1730):
A one day Judge seminar features Charles Macaulay as your instructor, with Eric Rimkus assisting. The focus will be on the US Sailing Judges Program. Judges are responsible for conducting protest and redress hearings when competitors believe there has been a breach of the rules. Judges also enforce Rule 42 (Propulsion) on the water at fleet racing events and consult with organizers and race officers ahead of events to review race documents and procedures. Please note: This is not a “rules” seminar, but is intended as training to become a judge.
*** If you are an OCSA member, become certified as a Club Judge, and hear a protest as part of OCSA’s protest committee in 2017, OCSA will refund your registration fee! ***

Race Management Seminar, Sunday (Jan. 22nd, 0830-1730):
The Race Management Seminar is instructed by Jeffrey Zarwell, Charles Rathkopf, and Eric Rimkus. Race management topics include ensuring the safety of competitors and the race committee, choosing courses to give competitors the best possible races, adjusting the course in response to changing conditions, starting the fleet, finishing the fleet and scoring the event
*** If you are an OCSA member, become certified as a Club Race Officer, and are Principal Race Officer (PRO) for a non-Friday OCSA race in 2017, OCSA will refund your registration fee. ***
