Waiver and Release
I have read the Notice of Race for the Swiftsure Inshore Race for the 2025 Swiftsure International Yacht Race (“The Race”), and agree to be bound by the Rules therein and the Sailing Instructions and any Addenda to either document. I recognize the inherent and other risks in yacht racing activities and freely accept these risks. I have read and intend to comply with the safety equipment requirements of the regulatory authority of my country of residence (e.g., US Coast Guard, Transport Canada’s Safe Boating Guide) as spelled out in the 2025 Notice of Race for The Race.
In consideration for participating in this event, I represent to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club that my vessel currently has, and will continue to have during The Race, third-party liability insurance covering property damage, personal injury, and death in an amount not less than CAD $390,000 or USD $300,000 per occurrence, and that the policy covers boat racing activities.
I agree to waive my rights to take legal action against and release and forever discharge the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, the Swiftsure Committee, and their respective organizers, agents, officials, servants, representatives, and volunteers (“the Organizers”) who shall not be liable for any injury or damage whatsoever to persons or property howsoever caused which may occur during, arise out of, or in connection with The Race notwithstanding that the same may have been contributed to, caused, or occasioned by the negligence of the Organizers or any of them. I understand that this waiver and release is binding upon myself, my heirs, executors and assigns.
By checking "I agree" and clicking "Continue", I confirm I have read and understood the Waiver and Release section above, I agree to the conditions stated in it, and I wish to register for The Race.
