Racing Rules Seminar for Race Committee

Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Staff Commodore's Room

Event Registration >>

Since 90% of the changes to the 2017-2020 Racing Rules of Sailing have to do with the activities of Race Officials (as opposed to the Part 2 rules that primarily affect racing sailors), Dave Perry, a world renowned sailor, US Sailing National Judge, member of the US Sailing Appeals Committee, and author of two books on the rules, has graciously offered to hold a special session for current and prospective Race Officials at which he will explain the new non-Part 2 rules and how these changes will impact how we run races and hear protests, etc.

San Diego Yacht Club is hosting this special session on Wednesday, February 8, 2017, from 6:30 – 9:00 pm in the Staff Commodore’s Room upstairs in the main clubhouse.

Pizza and a cash bar will be available.

There is no charge for this Race Officials event, but pre-registration is requested as the space is limited. (And we need to know how many pizzas to have available.)

We look forward to seeing you on Feb 8, 2017, for this exciting informational opportunity.
