National Race Officer Workshop

Programme Overview
The SA Sailing National Race Officer Programme is designed to bring Race Officers who hold a Regional Race Officer certificate to a level that they can be certified as National Race Officers and importantly be used as a refresher for current Nationally Accredited Race Officers. Attendance of the formal refresher workshop is a pre-requisite when renewing any RO certificate.
This programme forms part of the formal SA Sailing Race Officer’s framework and is the final formal training for SA Sailing Certificated Race Officers.
