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.
