DECLARATION:
I wish to enter the above named boat in the NYC event and I agree to be bound by the RRS Rules, the Prescriptions of Irish Sailing, the Class Rules (where applicable), the Notice of Race and the Sailing Instructions.
RRS 3 states: ‘The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue to race is hers alone.’ By participating in this event, I agree and acknowledge
(i) That sailing is a potentially dangerous activity with inherent risks, and
(ii) That I am aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of myself, my crew, and my boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event, and
(iii) That I am responsible for the safety of myself, my crew, and my boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore, and
(iv) That I accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omission, and
(v) That the provision of a race management team and other officials and volunteers by the event organiser does not relieve me of my responsibilities.
I hereby declare that my boat is in good order, properly equipped to sail in the event and that my crew are fit to participate
I understand and agree that the Organising Authority, Race Committee, the National Yacht Club, its officers, trustees, members, servants, agents and sponsors accept no responsibility in respect of loss of life, personal injury or loss or damage to property which I or any other person may sustain by participation or intended participation of the above named boat in the event or howsoever arising in connection with the event.
I understand and agree that, for the duration of the event, I and my crew are granted Associate Temporary Membership of The National Yacht Club and that as an Associate Temporary Member shall have no privilege beyond the personal use of the Club premises for the duration of the event.
I understand and agree that it is my responsibility to bring the foregoing matters to the attention of my crew.
I confirm that I carry adequate valid of not less than €3,000,000, to cover my liability in connection with my participation in the event. I confirm that this insurance covers my competing in events outside my home yacht club.
