Basic race management:     If you are looking to be on the water when your child or spouse is racing, this is the way to do it. By being part of the race committee you get to spend the day on the water as well as enjoy the race. And it's a great opportunity to contribute to the club or regatta you attend. The basic level is for those who are brand new or who want a thorough grounding in the basics of how to manage a sailboat race.
