Disclaimer 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 is fit to sail in the conditions in which it will find itself. By launching competitors confirm the boat is fit for those conditions and 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. The provision of patrol boats does not relieve owners and competitors of their responsibilities.
Catering
Snacks and soup will be available during both days.
An 3 course evening meal will be available in the clubhouse on Saturday evening from 1930.
A cooked breakfast will be available from 0800 until 0930 on Sunday mornings.
The Club Pub will be open on Saturday. No alcohol may be purchased or consumed on Club grounds/premises by anyone under 18 and we reserve the right to ask for proof of age before serving young drinkers.
If there is conflict between this Notice of Race and the Sailing Instructions, the latter will take precedence.
