MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Please ensure that any relevant medical conditions are notified (in a sealed envelope labelled with your name and boat details. This will only be opened if circumstances make it necessary.)

RISK STATEMENT Rule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: "The responsibility for a boat's decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone."
Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk.

By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that:

  (a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;
  (b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;
  (c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions;
  (d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate;
  (e) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the event organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;
  (f) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances;
  (g) Their boat is adequately insured, with cover of at least £3,000,000 (three million pounds) against third party claims.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY: All competitors will, by submitting their details in this form, accept the following disclaimer;

I agree to be bound by the racing Rules of Sailing and by any other rules that govern this event, I am aware of the onus placed upon competitors by RRS Fundamental Rule 4 "A boat is solely responsible for deciding whether or not to start or continue racing". I declare that I hold a valid certificate of insurance which covers me while racing (including adequate third party legal liability insurance cover for a minimum amount of £3,000,000).

I (we) will also abide by the RYA Racing Charter.

I agree that the Rickmansworth Sailing Club shall not be liable for any loss, damage death or personal injury howsoever caused to the Helm or Crew as a result of their taking part in the race or races. Moreover, every owner / competitor warrants the suitability for their equipment and boat for the race or races to be entered.

I agree that the provision of safety equipment and patrol boats by Rickmansworth Sailing Club is neither a guarantee that assistance can be rendered to any competitor in need, nor acceptance of any responsibility for rescue of any competitors. Further, in the event that assistance is rendered to any competitor, no liability for any loss, damage or injury to any competitor and /or his equipment is accepted by the event organisers, the crew or owners of such craft rendering assistance.

  I accept and agree to the above and any other terms and conditions relative to the Open Meeting and give my permission for any photos and/or videos of me, my crew or my boat to be used by RSC in any publicity within the Club, social media or press reports. (Please check to enable you to proceed)
