The seminar will cover the basics of umpiring, that are applicable to both match race and umpired fleet race. The focus is on the umpiring process, so this is not a rules seminar.Time: 1-2 February. Saturday between 10-17 and on Sunday between 9-16 (approx. times).
Place: Helsinki, NJK Björkholmen (TBC)
Register by Sunday 19th January. The course will be organised, if minimum 8 people participate.
Requirements: Participants should have an understanding of the game of sailing and know part 2 of the Racing Rules of Sailing (when boats meet), appendix C (match racing) and appendix UF and MR for umpired fleet and medal racing racing (Can be found here https://www.sailing.org/inside-world-sailing/rules-regulations/racingrules/ under ”Test rules and additions”).
Language: default language is English (language on the umpire boat is always English), but clarifications can be made in both Finnish and Swedish.
Instructor: International Umpire & International Judge Mats Björklund
Price: 85e, includes teaching, materials, test and lunch/coffee/etc.
The written exam will not be part of the course as such, but can be done after the course, either later on Sunday, or when agreed with Mats, or Juuso. The test needs to be passed in order to arrange for an on-the-water-assessment. Once you pass these two you can apply for the national umpire status. You can choose, if you want to take the test either with Match Race rules, or with fleet racing rules (medal race, under appendix MR).
To become a national umpire, you will need to participate in the seminar, pass the exam, pass an on the water assessment and act as an umpire in at least four regattas. (https://spv.fi/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Purjehduksen-toimitsijajärjestelmä_päivitetty-20151.pdf)
