Australian Sailing TAS is excited to be offering an Official’s Networking event on Sunday May 19th at the Derwent Sailing Squadron (9am to 12noon).

This is the day following the Sailing Summit (Club Conference) to allow people who are travelling from the north of the state to have the opportunity to stay on and be part of the event.

If you are interested in building connections with other Officials and attending a morning of discussion, networking and sharing of information, then this is the perfect event for you. You may also know of someone else who is interested in one of the Official roles that you may like to invite along. 

REGISTRATION - TAS Official’s Networking 

AS utilises the following Officiating disciplines:

• Judge - Handles racing protests and appeals
• Measurer - Checks if competitors boats and equipment are rules compliant
• Race Officer - Conduct racing by laying racing courses, providing start and finish lines, and scoring competition
• Umpire - Provides on-water judging of Teams and Match Racing where rules infringements between boats incur instantaneous penalties
