WAIVER AND RELEASE – In consideration of the acceptance of this entry, and by my signature below, I (or my parent or guardian if I am under the age of 18) hereby acknowledge and accept the following:
Serious accidents occasionally occur during sailboat racing, and that participants in sailboat racing occasionally sustain mortal or serious personal injuries and/or property damage as a consequence, and I knowingly assume all of the risks of sailboat racing.

The safety of my boat and her crew, including the decision whether or not to wear personal flotation devices, and the decision whether or not to start or continue to race, is my responsibility and not that of any person sponsoring or undertaking such race. I have read and understand RRS 3, Decision to Race.
I hereby forever and irrevocably waive, release and discharge any and all claims, liability, loss, or damages, including but not limited to claims for property damage, personal injury, sickness, disease, or death, to the fullest extent of the law, which I may have or in the future acquire against the race organizers, Davis Island Yacht Club, their officers, governors, or members, race committee, protest committee, technical committee, volunteers, sponsors, agents, employees, or any other organization or official providing services at the request of any of the foregoing, arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in any race or other activity sponsored or undertaken by any of them, even though such liability may arise out of their negligence or carelessness.

I agree that this waiver is binding on my heirs, representatives, successors and assigns.

I agree that this waiver applies to and is binding on all persons in or on my boat, and any Support Persons as defined in the RRS.

I agree to be bound by The Racing Rules of Sailing and by all other rules that govern this event.
