The series relies entirely upon Club volunteers who requite up their time to help with gun deck and RIB duties. On Thursdays the work involves preparation on the gun deck, undertow setting, signalling, starting, postponing, recalling, executive races, shortening course, abandoning, safety, finishing and tidying up. On each race day there will be a Race Officer, an Assistant Race Officer, and several gun deck assistants. The assistants provide the all important tasks of signal flag handling, gun/hooter operation, wend number spotting and recording starters and finishers. On Sunday mornings, there is usually only one or occasionally two, classes that race.  The task is consequently much easier and only a Race Officer and two assistants, plus a RIB crew, is required. The Race Officer requires some stratum of expertise in yacht racing, in order to provide a undertow that will ensure competitors finish in a reasonable time, having enjoyed some competitive racing.   For all other volunteers on the gun deck, no previous racing wits is required.   Members who volunteer to help but have no knowledge of sail racing, quickly pick up the procedures involved in starting races and race management generally.  For RIB race patrol duty, the RIB suburbanite must be RYA Level 2 trained. The Thursday series runs from late April until late August each year.  Some weeks prior to the prelude of the series, a roster of Race Officers, Gun Deck Assistants and RIB crews is prepared.   If, for some unforeseen circumstance, you are no longer worldly-wise to perform duty on a stage for which you had volunteered, please in the first instance try and unify a bilateral swap with flipside volunteer.   Please inform the RMYC office of any changes.
