Officials Training

Ontario Sailing conducts Assistant Race Officer, Race Officer, Mark Layer, and Judge courses every year, generally in the Spring. Courses are led by experienced officials who are also certified instructors for the subject; Sail Canada developed curriculum/materials form the basis for the courses.
