By submitting their details each crew and owner/skipper (as the case may be)
(1) acknowledges and agrees that neither the RSrnYC nor any other organising club nor any servant, employee, officer or agent thereof

"The Safety of a yacht and her crew is the sole and inescapable responsibility of the owner, or owner's representative who must do his best to ensure that the yacht is fully found, thoroughly seaworthy and manned by an experienced crew who have undergone appropriate training and are physically fit to face bad weather.
Owner must be satisfied as to the soundness of hull, spars, rigging, sails and all gear.
