This race committee shall publish sailing instructions and conduct the race, subject to such direction as the organizing authority may exercise. The term race committee whenever it is used shall include any person or committee that is responsible for performing any of the duties of the race committee. Fleet 58 publishes the notice of race and general sailing instructions so that each committee boat does not have this responsibility. Within this framework it is the responsibility of the committee boat to conduct and judge the race. Make decisions on the items not covered in the general notice of race and sailing instructions.
Most race committees decide on the course first.
If the course requires marks in addition to the permanent marks they must be set before the skipper's meeting. The race should be 60 to 90 minutes long. This can be a challenge with the changing winds on Lake Lanier. If possible the course should be designated with the ability to shorten the course if the winds die. Give some thought to the course so you do not put fleet members at risk.
