If you're in the 1st group, there is NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! Here is a brief look at the jobs we have on the water each day.
Signal boat - The Principal Race Officer (PRO) is responsible for all the big decisions. With the PRO on the signal boat are a timer, people to raise and lower flags, recorders or scribes checking boats in and writing down the sail numbers of finshers.
Mark & Pin boats - at least 2 people in each boat - they are responsible for putting bags filled with air wherever the PRO tells them to. If it's shifty winds, they needs to pick them up and move them, they also need to keep an eye on the wind direction and keep track of boats as they round.
Scorers - can be either on the water or ashore. They need to enter all the sail numbers in the order the recorders give them into a computerized scoring program
