10       STATEMENT OF LIABILITY

Competitors are entirely responsible for their own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing reduces this responsibility.  It is for competitors to decide whether their boat and its helm and crew are fit to sail in the conditions that they might find.  By going to sea competitors confirm their boat is fit for those conditions and that they are competent to sail and compete in them.  Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the owners and/or competitors, 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 taking part in the racing.  The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the event.

11       INSURANCE

Boats are required to be adequately insured including insurance against third party claims of at least £2m or the equivalent in other currencies.
