See Rule 4, Decision to Race. The Organising Authority will not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during or after the Regatta.

By taking part in the regatta, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that: (a) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the regatta.

(c) They accept responsibility for any injury, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions. (d) Their boat is in good order, equipped to sail in the regatta and they are fit to participate. (e) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers does not relieve them of their own responsibilities. (f) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances. (g) Lifejackets or other adequate personal floatation devices shall be worn by all competitors at all times while afloat. Flag Y will not be displayed. This changes RRS 40 and race signal Y. 9.

This gives the Club a significant logistical problem with 2 large events running back to back. This has led to the one off decision to shorten the Regatta to conclude on Friday August 12 th. We apologize for this but there is no other choice. The LDYC Committee asks for the help and assistance of all Regatta participants in removing their SOD s and other dinghies from the LDYC Jetties and Launching Areas and, preferably because of space requirements, removing them from the Club s premises for the duration of the Optimist Nationals.
