ENTRY DECLARATION
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
The safety of a boat and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the owner and the person in charge who must do their best to ensure that the boat is structurally sound, thoroughly seaworthy and manned by an experienced crew who are physically fit to face the expected conditions. The owner and the person in charge must be satisfied as to the soundness of the hull, spars, rigging, sails and all gear. The owner and the person in charge must ensure that all safety equipment is properly maintained and stowed and that the crew knows how to use it.
Neither the establishment of the Special Regulations, their use by Race Organisers, or the inspection of a boat under these Special Regulations in any way limits or reduces the complete and unlimited responsibility of the owner and the person in charge.
