3.      CONDITIONS OF ENTRY    Safety and Responsibility

Yacht racing can be dangerous. The attention of owners, skippers and crew is drawn to RRS Fundamental Rule 4: "A yacht is solely responsible for deciding whether or not to start or to continue racing". The safety of a yacht and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the owner or owner's representative who must do their best to ensure that the yacht is fully found, thoroughly seaworthy and manned by an experienced crew who are physically fit to face bad weather. They must be satisfied as to the soundness of the hull, spars, rigging, sails and all gear. They must ensure that the safety equipment is properly maintained and stowed and that the crew know where it is kept and how it is to be used.

               Cardiff Bay Yacht Club accept no responsibility or liability for loss of life or injury to members or  others, or for the loss of, or damage to, any vessel or property. The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the Regatta, including the organising authority, the race committee, the race officer, patrol boats and beach masters.  The provision of safety boats does not relieve the boat of its responsibilities.

The owner and crew will be held jointly responsible for the conduct of the yacht's crew before, during and after a race. Misconduct may result in both owner and crew being excluded from future races and render a yacht liable to disqualification.

Yachts must hold a valid and current boat insurance which covers them for third party claims of up to £3,000,000 for the entire period of the series.

Crew members' attention is drawn to RRS 1.2 life-saving equipment . . . "Each competitor is individually responsible for wearing personal buoyancy adequate for the conditions."

No yacht may carry an anchor that overhangs its bow and transom mounted outboard motors must be either stowed within the yacht or left in the vertical position while racing

 

The ABP Port of Cardiff and the Cardiff Harbour Authority regulations and Notices to Mariners will apply.
