Weekend Series events are member only racing events with separate starts for keelboats and dinghies run by volunteer race officers (Officer of the Day/OOD, rescue boat driver, and rescue boat assist) who aim to complete two races a day for a total of six per series with one discard for every four races sailed. Starts are usually 1400 on Saturdays, and 1300 on Sundays to accommodate an early finish on Sundays and courses will be set by the OOD using the club’s permanent marks depending on the conditions. See Race Hut on race day for specifics on fleet starts, starting procedure, etc. Courses are displayed on the course board outside the hut prior to the preparatory signal.
Overall prizes given at the end of the season, although the new names are to encourage members to socialise after racing and discuss who has [Loch] Earn’d an adult beverage with the day’s shenanigans.
The volunteer race officers are set annually by the Sailing Secretary so that all members contribute. Remember to arrive an hour before the first start if on the duty team and to arrange a swap via DutyMan if you are unable to do your duty.
