race committees

Race committees are groups responsible for organizing and overseeing sailing or rowing competitions. They set the official course, start and finish lines, and ensure the race follows established rules. They also monitor conditions, manage start sequences, and handle any disputes or adjustments needed during the event. Their role is to ensure the race is conducted fairly, safely, and smoothly for all participants. The committee typically includes experienced officials, often with designated roles such as race officer, umpires, and timekeepers, working together to deliver an organized and equitable competition.
