Online club race management course

Our club race management course is an online, interactive, e-learning course designed to help give those who are new to race management the confidence to set courses, and to start and finish races. We encourage clubs to make use of this FREE resource by promoting it to their volunteers who may be undertaking race management duties for the first time or are in need of a refresher. 

This course can be supplemented by bespoke training sessions tailored to your clubs needs which can be delivered by our regional race management coordinators. 

Bespoke club courses

Our bespoke club courses are delivered by our race management coordinators or rules advisors.

There are a number of one day or shorter club courses that are run to train race officials and other volunteers, however our rules advisors and race management coordinators will be more than happy to directly discuss with RYA affiliated clubs and classes their specific needs and to tailor what they deliver accordingly.

For courses delivered to RYA affiliated clubs and class associations the RYA will cover the cost of the instructors fee. The affiliated club or class association is expected to cover the cost of the instructors travel expenses up to a maximum of £80 with the RYA covering anything in excess of that.

Club race team course

This course was previously known as the club race officer course.  A great opportunity to have a race officer course that is designed around your club facilities and procedures.  It is aimed to give your volunteers the confidence to run the club racing, and to have a good knowledge of the procedures, and duties of a race officer. We can provide an experienced official to visit you and deliver this very interactive course.  

GPS course

Particularly linked to the mark laying courses, this two hour session is designed to enable course members to get the best out of their GPS units.

Club mark layer course

Provided for clubs and classes to teach some skills and techniques in mark laying for club racing and the smaller open meeting. A short practical course with nearly all the time on the water.  This course is also with the regional coordinator.

Rules adviser course

A course run by regional rules advisors to train club rules advisors on the use of advisory and RYA arbitration hearings, more immediate and accessible rules disputes resolution processes than protest hearings. An attendance certificate may be issued at the end of the course that is endorsed by the attendee's club.

Basic rules course

A course to help build a better understanding of the racing rules of sailing with examples of different rules situations.The course lasts up to two hours and is easily divided into two sessions with the opportunity for a beer or "sausage and mash" in between. A very popular winter evening session for clubs. It is based on the RYA's publication Handy Guide to the Rules. This course is with your rules advisor.

Rules clinics

We can arrange for a judge or umpire to visit your club and run a rules clinic dealing purely with situations encountered by your members in recent racing. 

Training modules 

Training modules on a number of topics relevant to race management which can be downloaded by clubs to use.
