- Set
the date on the Club Calendar.
- Talk
to Carter about what food to have and what price to charge. That goes
on the NOR (Notice of Race).
- Send
out the NOR. Obtain the list of sailors from Tom Caldwell. He will put
them on labels. Fold and mail these at least 1 – 1 ½ months before
the regatta.
- Obtain
a Race Committee
- Signal
boat (Ivan Bush, Tom Caldwell, Wendy Campbell, Don Robbins “new”
boat. Something, preferably with shelter and a head
- Two
or more mark boats. Big regattas need photo boat and safety boat
- Equipment
person (Dan Morrow)
- PRO
(Principle Race Officer) He/She runs the show on the water
- Scorer
(Marguerite Miletic is a pearl!) She’ll be at the YC and will take
results over the phone ASAP after the races or during.
- Write
out the SI’s (Sailing Instructions) Jim Vaughn usually has a copy
to work from or look in the SAYRA Rule Book. Check the latest
version for rule changes and upgrade the SI’s accordingly.
- Make
sure there are copies of all the papers that the committee boat and
mark boats will need, i.e. wind sheets, finish sheets, mark
roundings, logs for the scribe, etc.
- Ask
Suzy Priegel to be treasurer of the event and to take registration
fees. She’s don this tons of times and usually gets her own team of
Mary Anne MacAlarney, M. C. and some new members to help
her for the A.M. registration and then comes back at night for the
dinner tabs.
- Ask
Carter about a bartender or grab some of the members.
- Order
trophies early!!!!! I have a book for trophies on line. As a VERY last
resort go to the local guy, Steve, near Bi Lo. He’s dreadfully
expensive.
- The
Race Committee Chairman should be a part of the ON Water Team to be
able to help assess the future needs of the regatta. This IS a team
effort.
- Write
a final report for the Club and place all pertinent information in a
folder labeled with the Event and it’s date in the office.
