Addendum A – RACE COMMITTEE DUTY POLICY 2025

The Organizing Authority recognizes that boats have a limited sailing season and want to maximize their time on the water. To ensure our Club Racing program has an ample supply of volunteer Race Committee staff, the following policy is mandated:

A1. OYS and OC competitors in Mid-week (Tuesday or Thursday) series shall sign up for Duty Sessions for races Organized by OYS.

A2. registered boat is responsible for providing a Race Committee Duty Session.

A3. A Race Committee Duty Session consists of providing two able bodies to the Race Committee for a race. This may be one person for two races or two people for one race.

A4. There will be Duty Sessions every other Tuesday (BHYC provides opposite) and every Thursday race. A boat that is unable to compete because its crew is assigned to race committee duty is scored RCD during that Race Committee Duty

Session. RCD shall be the average of a boat`s non-excluded scores for the series in which she was unable to compete. A boat providing Race Committee Duty for a race is responsible for notifying the Racing Director (racingdirector@oysqn.com) by email of the RCD.

A5. A web-based calendar will be provided on the OYS website showing available Race Committee Duty Sessions. Boats shall choose their preferred Duty Session

dates from the calendar. Boats that have not signed up for the Duty Sessions by May 7. 2024 may be assigned slots by the Race Committee.

A6.  A boat that misses their scheduled Race Committee Duty Session or does not fulfill the complete requirements as stated in A4 shall be scored as DNE in the best race score of the Series in which they complete the most races.

A7. Race Committee Duty Sessions performed by OYS members qualify as required volunteer hours only for that member.
