OOD Guidance

After their first year racing every yacht skipper is expected to be Officer Of the Day (OOD) at least once and sometimes twice a year. Before the schedule is prepared at the beginning of the year all skippers are asked if there any weeks which they are unable to do. The schedule is published and managed through Dutyman a system specifically designed for this task. This system enables skippers to reconfirm their duties and also to request swaps with other skippers. If you have any difficulties with the system just emai Peycwelcome@gmail.com

There are OOD manuals (please note that these are currently being revised) in the Race Office in the clubhouse, on the committee boat and in the race box at the end of the Main Pier which give detailed step by step instructions for OOD duties. They can also be downloaded from these links:

First Time/Rusty

If it is your first time (or you feel a bit rusty) as OOD let us know and we will try and ensure that you have help from an experienced race officer or as a minimum an experienced committee boat driver. We new also planning an OOD training evening when the tides are too low to race.

The OOD will be given average points for the race he is OOD for based on the average of his other races in the series. Remember to enter ‘ood’ in the results system against your yachts name.
