Sailing Instructions
Boat racing at WYC is governed by the sailing instructions you can download here. Whilst documents of this type can be seen as dull it’s important that you are familiar with the latest version.
Race Officers Guide
Race Officers Guide
Whilst the club is largely run by volunteers, you are only expected to do one or two duties a year. This can mean that it can be some time between duties so a read through the latest race officers’ guide can make your duty far more relaxed and enjoyable.
