At Registration all competitors must present a valid Race Certificate in respect of the boat entered.
It shall be the sole responsibility of each helm to decide whether or not to start or to continue to race.
By participating in a race conducted under these rules each competitor and boat owner agrees :
(i) to be governed by the above rules
(ii) to accept the penalties imposed and other action taken in accordance with the rules, subject to the appeal and review procedures provided in them, as the final determination of any matter arising under the rules; and

(iv) FBYC reserves the right to make any alterations it may deem necessary.

3.Registration
Registration will take place at FBYC until 1900 hours on Saturday 18th August 2012. Sailing Instructions will be available at the club. There will be a briefing for competitors in the Clubhouse following registration.
4.Racing Schedule:
The first points race will be on Sunday 19th August 2012, with the first warning signal not before 1125 hours. Intended starting times during the event will be shown in the Sailing Instructions.
5.Scoring – The Low Point system of Appendix A (Scoring) will apply, with five races scheduled, of which three shall be completed to constitute a championship, with one discard if four or more races are completed.
NOTE: DNS boats will be awarded one point more than the number of entries.
6.Liability Exclusion.
6.1 A boat is entirely responsible for her own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing, whether in the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility.
6.2 It is for the helm to decide whether the boat is fit to sail in the conditions in which she will find herself. By launching or going to sea, the helm confirms that the boat is fit for those conditions and her helm and crew are competent to sail and compete in them.
6.3 The boat is required to hold adequate insurance and in particular to hold insurance against third party claims in the sum of at least £2,000,000.
6.4 Nothing done by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the boat 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 race and the event, and include the organising authority, the race committee, the race officer, patrol boats and beachmasters.
6.5 The provision of patrol boats does not relieve the boat of her responsibility.
6.6 The fact that the race committee conducts inspections of a boat does not reduce the responsibilities of the boat set out in this paragraph.
7.Rights to use names and likenesses.
Competitors automatically grant FBYC and YWDBA without payment the right in perpetuity to make use and show and receive payment therefore, of any motion pictures, still pictures and live filmed or taped television of or relating to the event. They also allow their names, age, category, Club and Boat details to be displayed in competitor lists prior to the event and in results and on the Dayboat Association website and in any other publication.
