Misson & Vision
Regattas and Head races could..

not run without umpires who undertake rigorous training to ensure that racing is safe and fair for all competitors. Many are rowers themselves who have given up or reduced their active rowing and are giving something back to the sport.
Whilst safety is everyone’s responsibility, during a race the Umpire takes on particular responsibility for the conduct of the   race. Things can happen during a race that can create an unsafe situation or make racing conditions unfair or unequal for       the competitors. The Race Umpire uses his or her judgement to restore fair and equal chance to the competitors in each race,  as guided by the FISA Rules of Racing.
