Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk. By taking part in an event, each competitor (parent for minors) agrees and acknowledges that: they are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in an event; they are responsible for the safety of themselves and their boat and their property whether afloat or ashore; they accept responsibility for any loss, damage, personal injury or death to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions; their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate; the provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the event organizer does not relieve them of their own responsibilities;

5 12..6 the provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances; their boat is adequately insured. Nothing done by the organiser can reduce the responsibility of the helmsman or crew of a boat nor will it make the organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or personal injury, howsoever it may have occurred, as a result of the boat taking part in racing. 13 INSURANCE Each participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance. 14 FURTHER INFORMATION For further information, please contact : o Nosepasa vzw : mail : info@patin.be GSM Gert GSM Bernard o Twinsclub : mail : info@twinsclub.be GSM Johan : CHARTER YOUR PATIN Marinero offers patins for use during the Championship.
