LIMITATION OF THE CLUB’S GENERAL LIABILITY

Members of the Club, their guests and visitors use the Club premises and any other facilities of the Club entirely at their own risk and impliedly accept that

• The Club will not accept any liability for damage to, or loss of, property belonging to members, their guests or visitors to the Club.
• The Club will not accept any liability for personal injury arising out of the use of the Club premises, and any other facilities of the Club, or out of participation in any races organised by the Club, or social events organised for Junior Fortnight whether such events take place at the club or elsewhere and whether sustained by members, their guests or visitors, or caused by the said members, guests or visitors whether or not such damage or injury could have been attributed or contributed to or was occasioned by neglect, default or negligence of any of them, the officers, committee or servants of the Club.
• Before inviting any guests or visitors onto the premises or to participate in events organised by the Club, members are required to draw their attention to this rule.

CHILDREN, Parents and guardians are warned that the limitations referred to above apply equally to their children and wards i.e. those under the age of 18 years.  While the Club normally provides safety facilities for organised races it cannot accept responsibility for children and wards while they are not engaged in such racing or in organised activities afloat.
Parents and guardians have sole responsibility for their children at such times and, except when so engaged, the Club cannot be expected to exercise supervision and control.

RACING DISCLAIMER

• A boat and the owner and the person in charge (the Boat) are entirely responsible for their own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing, whether in this notice of race or the sailing instructions or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility.  It is for the Boat to decide whether it is fit to sail in the conditions in which it will find itself.  By launching or going to sea, the Boat confirms that it is fit for these conditions and that its crew is competent to sail and compete in them.
• The Boat is required to hold adequate insurance and in particular to hold insurance against third party claims in the sum of at least £3,000,000.
• Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the Boat nor will it make the organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or personal injury, however it may have occurred, as a result of the Boat having taken part in the racing.  The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the race and the event, and include the organising authority, its officers and staff, the race committee, the race officers and assistants, the patrol or safety boats and beach-masters.
• The provision of patrol or safety boats does not relieve the owners or the Boat of its responsibilities.
• The fact that a race committee may conduct inspections of a boat does not reduce the responsibilities set out in these paragraphs.
• In addition to third party liability for not less that £3,000,000 referred to above, competitors are advised to effect their own personal accident insurance.
