2010 Race Committee Chairs: Susi Graff
& Bruce Greene
The
San Diego Yacht Club Race Committee is dedicated to running top
quality sailing events while providing a fair and safe race environment
for the competing sailors. Without the help of Race Committee
volunteers, our 45+ sailing events each year would not be possible.
Who
can volunteer for Race Committee?
Anyone can volunteer. You can be a member, non-member, young,
old, sailor, or non-sailor. There are many positions on the Race
Committee that can be filled by a wide variety of people.
When
and how often do I have to volunteer?
You can volunteer at any time during the year. We provide an online sign-up form and you can volunteer for as few as one event
per year, although we encourage you to come out at least a few
times a year. When you sign up for an event, you do not have to
volunteer your entire weekend; you can sign up for one day only
of a regatta. Not only can you sign-up for an event but you can
also sign up as an alternate; someone we can call when we are
short-handed.
I
have never volunteered for Race Committee before. How will I
know what to do?
We welcome all levels of experience. The best way to learn is
hands-on. Come on out to an event and one of our experienced
Race Committee Members will be happy to teach you the ropes.
For more formal training, we offer Race Committee Clinics throughout
the year.
If
you have any more questions or would like to be put on our e-mail
list to receive RC information, please
contact the Sailing Office at 619-758-6309 or jared@sdyc.org.
