SECTION 12Helpful Hints (make it to your race in the allocatedtime)1) If at all possible each club should appoint a non competing Team Managerto assist with the organisation of each team.2) Know the order of events, how many teams progress through each eventand how many heats per event. (NB: this is possible to change each carnivaldependant on the surf and number of clubs entered)3) Know which heat is currently racing and how many until your next event.4) Patients are taken out to sea by Duty Boats on the direction of the PatientMarshall, wait until the Boat Marshall directs you then proceed directly toyour allocated lane after the conclusion of the previous race. This way youwill maximize your time to get set up. Once all crews are ready and indicatethis to the starter he / she may start the event anytime.5) Your patient is in the previous race.a) Anticipate the situation, and inform the Patient Marshall ASAP that yourpatient for event, heat and lane will be late due to the patient being in theprevious event.b) Arrange to have another person to take your patient position in themarshalling area;c) Try to avoid having patients competing in all events.6) Have your back up motor, extra fuel, basic tool kit and spare parts on thebeach with you. If something goes wrong these should be within easy reach.7) Always know where your boat is parked. Crews have put excess stress onthemselves or even missed races by not being able to find their boat.Remember where it is, what distinguishing marks it has (the red one with BPon it is a bit vague).23 of 26
