By allowing the child mentioned above to participate in the event, we also agree and acknowledge that: a) We, and the child, are bound by the rules as defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) and all other rules that govern this event; b) There is an obligation under the RYA prescription to RRS rule 4 to ensure that the child’s support persons (as defined in the RRS) comply with the rules, and that the child’s boat could in certain situations be penalised if any of the child’s support persons do not comply with the rules.
Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By allowing the child mentioned above to participate in the event I, the parent/guardian of the child, and/or the person nominated below in loco parentis (where applicable), agree and acknowledge that: a) We are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for exposing the child to such inherent risks; b) We have satisfied ourselves that the child has the necessary skill and knowledge to participate in the event and to deal with conditions that may arise in the course of a race; c) We will not allow the child to participate in the event whilst under the influence of alcohol, drugs or whilst otherwise unfit to participate; d) We are responsible for ensuring that the boat is in good order, equipped and insured (including third party insurance of at least £3 million); e) We are responsible for the child’s property whether afloat or ashore; f) We accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by our own actions or omissions or actions or omissions of the child; g) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers does not relieve us of our parental/guardianship/in loco parentis responsibilities or the child of their responsibilities; h) It is our responsibility to familiarise ourselves and the child with any risks specific to this venue or this event drawn to our attention in any rules and information produced for the venue or event and to attend any safety briefing held for the event; i) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances.
