Some new sailors this year have gotten some experience racing by first coming out and helping on the committee boat. You will learn what we have to do to start and score races. You will have the best seat in the house for watching sailboat racing. You will learn some skills that will allow you to give back after you've become a famous racer.
For the Fall Off, we want to start a program to start people learning how to use Sailwave for computer scoring at our races. Ideally, we would have 2 or 3 people with their laptops on the committee boat to score the Fall Off. Yes, we'll always have a paper backup to save us if we mess up the computer too badly.
Kyle Claybrook has made templates for us to use, so the heavy lifting has been done. One needs to learn how to enter the late registrations and actually start/score a race.
We will have some race committee seminars this winter. Then you can gain experience in our winter racing program before it gets serious with the Force Five next Spring.
Your participation would be great appreciated. I can assure you it is fun to work on the RC, get your lunch bought for you, and participate in the after race activities as our honored guests.
