Competitors participate in the regatta entirely at their own risk. See rule 4, Decision to Race. The organizing authority will not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during, or after the regatta.

Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By taking part in the event, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that:

● they are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;
● they are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;
● they accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions;
● their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate;
● the provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;
● the provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances;
● it is their responsibility to familiarise themselves with any risks specific to this venue or this event referred to in the Sailing Instructions and to attend any safety briefing held at the venue.

Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance with a minimum cover of £3 million per event or the equivalent.
