Series Officer Duties

The following documents can be downloaded: Series Officer Duties (doc), Guidance for Race Officers (doc)

Every week, well in advance of the race, contact the designated race officer to remind them of their duties, ensure they are prepared and have sufficient crew to assist them.
Every week, attend the yacht club about 1� hours before the start of the race and ensure race officer is in attendance and preparing the race.
Give advice and supervision to the race officer as required.
Check the course once decided by the race officer that it is of sufficient quality and complies with the advice on the Race Officer Guidelines.
Sign the course when you have approved it.
If the race produces any protests or requests for redress, then arrange a protest committee a.s.a.p. � preferably the same day. If however, you are a party to the protest or request for redress, request a deputy (e.g. race officer) to arrange the committee.
Check race results when produced to ensure they are correct.
Ensure that series results are calculated and are correct.
If a race is not run due to poor weather, decide whether the race should be run on a subsequent week and if so publicize this information by verbal notice and by e-mail. As a general principle, Wednesday races will be cancelled not postponed but Sunday races will usually be postponed to the next Sunday on which there is normal racing (no fun, specialty or offshore races or regattas). There would therefore be two races the following Sunday and the race officer for that day must be notified of this.
Give out any notices about coming events e.g. Club Class.
If you are unable to attend the yacht club on the day of a race, arrange a deputy to perform the above duties.
