Transfer the   barrows containing the buoys to the jetty to the right of the grass frontage.  Do not leave the barrow on the jetty.

Do not place the   buoys too far out!

Collect the keys   to the RIB garage from the duty officer (who should arrive by 10.00) and open   the garage. Once the RIB is out of the garage lock the garage and return the   keys to the duty officer

Set the Start box   with 1 minute count down for the first fleet (usually the big boats),   reminding other skippers to keep clear. Clearly call out any boats over the   line at the start.

Allow sufficient   gap then set start box for one minute count down for the second fleet.   Clearly call any boats over the line at the start.

Observe racing as   far as possible for any contact between boats, and announce the contact.  Note the skippers should take   responsibility to police themselves.

Record boats in   the order in which they finish.

Decide how many   races to be run as the day progresses (the minimum number of races per day in   a Series will have been determined / agreed previously)

For Series   racing, start with a practice race.    Run four Series races in the morning, and four in the afternoon.  Run other races as requested by the   sailors.

Take the RIB to collect   all buoys and return them to the jetty.

Return the RIB to   the garage – remember to lock the garage afterwards
