Course Infomation
The focus of the RJ course is on how to conduct sailing hearings, of the type that are typically encountered at club and local events, in a fair and correct manner. You will need a good grasp of the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) – roughly to the level expected of a strong club racer as it’s designed to help participants be at that level of knowledge.
Pre Course Quiz
To help you get the most out of this course you will be required to complete a pre-course Racing Rules of Sailing Quiz alongside reading materials. This will be sent to you two weeks before the course start date and it will take 40-80 minutes to complete.
Attendance on the course meets one requirement for an appointment as an RYA Regional Judge. The other requirements are to pass the RYA's Regional Judge test (which covers rules and hearings), and to be a judge at two events and four hearings, supported by a satisfactory reference from a qualified judge. Please see the RYA website for information.
There will be more information, including the joining instructions for Zoom, sent at least two weeks before the course.
