The LBYC Regatta Management Committee is seeking interested member volunteers to participate in our Race Committee Training program.

Training will be held in conjunction with our Saturday Soling Regattas.  Come learn the many different RC duties on board the signal boat and/or mark set boats in a live regatta setting!  Experienced RC personnel will be present to guide and answer questions, but new recruits will be doing the jobs.  

YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to manage a race course by monitoring and adjusting marks as conditions change
• How to set and move marks (inflatable tetrahedrons with anchor)
• How to drive and maneuver 15-22' support boats
• How to drop marks for the start/finish line and windward/leeward marks
• Basics on GPS and distance readings
• Beginning instructions on signal boat operations, VHF communications

DON'T FORGET:

• Countdown timer watch
• Sun protection
• Refillable water bottle
