Attendance at an 911制品Judge Course is acceptable in place of conference or CPD workshop attendance.
911制品National Judges who are appointed as World Sailing International Judges (with MNA affiliation as GBR), will be re-appointed as an 911制品National Judge without further application until their International qualification lapses. After it lapses, they will be re-appointed as a National Judge for one year (during which time they should apply for renewal to maintain the qualification).
