There are two representative roles at an international event – an Official Class Representative of the ICA, and an Official Radio Sailing Representative of IRSA. The document outlines these roles so that useful knowledge and experience gained by the organising authority, the race committee, and the judge/umpire team is channelled for future use.

The document explains the mechanism to allocate funds to event representatives.

IRSA Allowances for Official Representatives

This policy is to welcome, support, and reconcile all parties who wish to participate in IRSA events, and to assist event organisers to promote events which conform to the Racing Rules of Sailing.
