Race Officials

Regatta officials play a key role in the promotion, organization and management of sailboat racing in Canada. Volunteers involved with Race Management, Judging and Umpiring are encouraged to follow the CYA certification program in place to increase skill level, practical experience and knowledge. Many graduates of the CYA National Race Official program have succeeded to become well respected and recognized volunteers at the national and international levels.
