Individual class racing is organised for GP14's, Merlin Rockets,
Enterprises and handicap boats,(which currently include; Mirror,
Comet, Solo, Kinsman, Byte, Heron).
Race management is conducted by a team comprisng a Duty Officer,
an Assistant Duty Officer and Timekeepers. Responsibilities include
setting courses, laying marks, starting, scoring and calculating
results. If a race protest is lodged it is the Duty Officer's
responsibility to arrange a protest meeting.
Safety is paramount on race days and two patrol boats are available.
Duty Officers and assitants are required to handle the boats in
a competant manner and to this end, informal instruction in race
management, boathandling and safety is included in our programme.
Comprehensive guidlines and instructions for the Race Team are
available at the club.
