DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

Decision to Race – The helm and crew of a boat are entirely responsible for their own

safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing, whether in the Notice of Race or

Sailing Instructions or anywhere else reduces this responsibility.

It is for the helm and crew of the boat to decide whether he / she is fit to sail in the

conditions which he / she will find. By launching or going to sea, and or staying at

sea, the boat skipper and crew confirm that they are fit for those conditions and the

crew is competent in them.

Nothing done by the organiser can reduce the responsibility of the helm or crew of a

boat nor will it make the organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or

personal injury, however, it may have occurred, as a result include the Organising

Authority, the Race Committee, the Race Officers, patrol boats and beach masters.

The provision of patrol boats does not relieve the helm and crew of a boat of their

responsibilities.

Overboard – Crews are also reminded of their primary responsibility to offer to assist

any man overboard at any time. If they stand by or assist redress can be claimed.

INSURANCE

Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance.
