Running races and judging protests are handled by a crew of dedicated volunteers, without which YRA racing could not occur. We profusely thank them for their efforts on behalf of quality sailboat racing in our area.

The YRA mostly uses US Sailing certified Race Officers. Other volunteers who are not US Sailing certified but nonetheless are well qualified to be Race Officers also support the YRA for certain races, particularly those sponsored by a specific yacht club. The list of Race Officers for Area G (that includes San Francisco Bay and the surrounding waters) can be found at the US Sailing website here (for “Report Type” select “All Race Officers,” and for “Area” select “G” and click on “View Report”).

Judges are the volunteers who hear protests and adjudicate them. Again, without these volunteers racing could not happen. The list of Judges can be found at the US Sailing website here (for “Report Type” select “All Judges,” and for “Area” select “G” and click on “View Report”).

If a YRA member yacht club is in need of a Principal Race Officer, protest committee members, or Race Committee crew, please contact the YRA Race Management Coordinator. We may be able to help you staff your race management crew.
