2. Organise the race management team, including Race Officer of the Day, volunteers, and paid staff;
3. Organise the on-the-water regatta logistics, including committee boats, signals, marks, etc.; and
4. Provide judges for protest arbitration and protest juries.

The Combined Clubs will use the assets of the member clubs to organise racing. The Combined Clubs Committee will be made up of the Chairmen of the respective club’s Sailing Committees, and two race officials from each member club. The Committee shall chose a Chairman and Deputy Chairman from different member clubs.
