The site is coming together now. The Club RO slides will be finished today, and
Paul is going to send a note around to the RM committee to schedule a conference
call. More....

We're making progress now, mainly because I've been giving a Club RO
course at West Vancouver YC for last week and this means the slides and teaching
notes had to get done, no matter what. More....

Welcome to 2005, and a Happy New Year to everyone. If you found your way
here, you'll know that I've moved the web site. No big deal—it
just makes management a little easier. More....

After two days of learning and spirited discusssion, it looks like we've
made some progress. Tom Farquhar, chair of the US Sailing race management
committee, presented USSA course content and structure Thursday and
Friday morning, finishing off with a special edition of the USSA standard
test. More....

Made a rookie mistake when I originally posted the BC Sailing slides. Colour
isn't much use, if anyone wants to print them out, as I did a few minutes
ago. They are there in B/W now, which fits most printers better. Apologies
to all. More....

I've posted some additional CYA material below. It would
be helpful if you could make yourself copies of the material marked
with the 
symbol.
These form the background of some of our scheduled discussions on Thursday,
so if you could look at them in advance and bring a copy to the meeting
it would be helpful. More....

Had a conference call with Pat Lymburner and Paul
Ulibarri about our schedule

Farquhar,
to run over the US Sailing material on Wednesday and perhaps into
a bit of Thursday morning. More....

Met with Guy Walters, member of the race management committee and author
of the CYA race management manual. We talked about some of the history
of the Canadian race management program, and discussed how we might
settle on the 'body of knowledge' needed by an applicant who presents
for CRO status. More....

It appears that representatives of most provinces will attend the RM
seminar in Toronto. I spoke by phone with AB, MB, ON, PQ,
NB, NS,
and they all
have identified someone that can speak for them. More....
Introduction — Tuesday, October 26
In October 2004, Paul Uibarri, chair of the Canadian Yachting Association's
Race Management committee, asked me for some thoughts on how the CYA race
management program might be re-energized. More....
This page was revised on April 24, 2005.
The course resources have been moved to a closed page. We have sent an email to all members of the RM committee with the address of the page with the new material.
If you lose it, send me a note
here.
I've changed the Canadian Resources link to include some useful stuff for getting Notices of Race and Sailing Instructions organized. Suggestions for additional material are welcome.
