21 DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

A boat is entirely responsible for her own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing, whether in the Notice ofRace or Sailing Instructions or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility. It is for the boat to decide whether sheis fit to sail in the conditions in which she will find herself. By launching or going to sea, the boat confirms thatshe is fit for those conditions and her crew is competent to sail and compete in them.

The boat is responsible to ensure that she is equipped and seaworthy so as to be able to face extremes of weather; thatthere is a crew sufficient in number, experience and fitness to withstand such weather; and that the safety equipment isproperly maintained, stowed and in date and that the crew know how to use it. The fact that the Race Committeeconducts inspections of a boat does not reduce the responsibilities of the boat set out in this paragraph.

The boat is required to hold adequate insurance and in particular to hold insurance against third party claims inthe sum of at least £2,000,000 sterling.

Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the boat nor will it make the organisers responsiblefor any loss, damage, death or personal injury, however it may have occurred, as a result of the boat taking partin the racing. The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the Race and the event, and include the organisingauthority, the Race Committee, the Race Officers, patrol boats and beach masters. The provision of patrol boatsdoes not relieve the boat of her responsibilities.
