Race Committee & BoatsSo, you have the job of running RC this Sunday... Thanks! Without volunteers like you there would be no sailboat racing. Below is a lot of important and useful information. If you have questions, contact: Rear Commodore for Racing - Robert Bennett at rearcommodore@potomacriversailing.org or 202 431-2396 Vice Commodore for Boats - Nabeel Alsalam at vicecommodore@potomacriversailing.org or 703 786-1697 BASICS Who Is Scheduled to be on RC? See RC Assignments to see who is signed up already or to add your name. If every skipper, associate, and crew signed up for one task for one event, we might be able to fill all the slots. Otherwise, we'll have to sign up for two slots. Where are the keys? This is not something we want to put on the web. If you don't know then email Nabeel. Do the boats have gas? Refueling policy STARTING, LAUNCHING, AND OPERATING THE BOATS Most boat drivers use PRSA's boats only once or twice a year. So it is critical that each boat driver review the instructions at the links below associated with the boat they will drive. If you have any problems with a boat call/contact of the keepers below.
SAILING INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS A package of these forms will be in a manila envelope labeled with the event in the Bayliner's cabin.
PLANNING THE WORK Priorities: Safety of People, Running Races, Rescuing Capsized Boats How many people does it take to run the RC? RC EQUIPMENT RUNNING THE RACES What Will the Racers Be Looking For? Topics for the Skipper's Meeting Signaling 'Over Early' boats and General Recall ADDITIONAL TOPICS Is the start line closed? Is it an obstruction AFTER THE RACES Results The check-in and order of finish sheets need to get to Jeff Storck (theoretically@verizon.net or 571-422-2444) or Robert Bennett (rearcommodore@potomacriversailing.org). If you do not find one or the other after the races, please scan and email to Jeff. Don't try to compile the results -- the scoring program will do that. The check-in sheet is very important to the scorer and he needs it if he is going to get the results posted quickly. The scorer has the names of the skippers (who are PRSA members) and their hull numbers, but if those skippers are using sails with a different number (frequent), the scorers probably doesn't have that information. Also, he probably doesn't have the name, hull number, and sail number of new members or guests. Boats and Equipments Leave boats clean, covered, and tidy. Leave keys, marks, Ollie, inflator in their designated spots. Boat Issues Please report problems, issues, etc. that you had or see coming up with each of the RC boats to Nabeel (vicecommodore@potomacriversailing.org/703 786-1967) or each boat's keeper. Running a Protest Hearing (forthcoming) Training for RC Management and Operating the PRSA Boats For hands on training see the calendar. If you don't see one, bug your PRSA officers or fleet captain to schedule one.
