SKIPPER'S/OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

RULES
Races will be governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing.
SAFETY
The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue to race
is hers alone. Safety of a yacht and its crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility
of the skipper/owner who must do his/her best to ensure that the yacht is fully sound,
thoroughly seaworthy and manned by an experienced crew which is physically fit to
face all weather conditions.
INSURANCE
In consideration for participating in the racing season, I represent to the Pender
Island Yacht Club that my vessel has liability insurance currently in effect and that it
will continue to be in effect for the duration of the racing season covering property
damage and personal injury in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence
and that the policy covers yacht racing activities.
WAIVER
By participating in the races, I hereby acknowledge that I have read the rules and
regulations issued and agree to be bound by them; furthermore, that I waive my right
to take any action against the Pender Island Yacht Club with respect to any Claims
and will indemnify the Releasees for any Claims brought by me or in my name or on
behalf of my heirs, executors and/or assigns or any Claims brought by or in the name
of any of my crew members, their heirs, executors and/or assigns.
Accepted and Signed:
