1.
Make sailing instructions simple.
2. Make the skippers
meeting as informative as possible.
3. Set the start &
finish lines outside the racecourse.
4. Make the starting line
square to the wind & long enough to fit all the boats on the line
at one time. (but not too
long)
5. Start the fastest
fleets first.
6. Race & score all
the Optimist together.
7. Race & score all
Lasers together.
8. Use the 3-minute dinghy
start.
9. Use a megaphone to hail
boats that are over early.
10. Don’t make the courses
too short. (the sailors are there to sail)
11. Run 5 races with no
throw outs.
12. Serve lunch after the
races.
13. Have a runner log race
scores into the computer during the regatta.
14. Handle protests
effectively & quickly.
15. Tally up the race
scores ASAP after the last race.
16. Post the race results
before the awards ceremony.
And last but not least;
17. Get the regatta
results to me, ASAP after the regatta.
The
above are just tips, hopefully they’ll be helpful.
