Rule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.” 

Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore inherently involves an element of risk.  By taking part in the event, 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 event;

b) They are responsible for the safety of themselves, their crew, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore;

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 event;

e) They have checked that they and their fellow crew members are fit to participate;

f) The provision of a race management team, patrol boats and other officials and volunteers by the event organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities.

g) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance, particularly in extreme weather conditions, as can be practically provided in the circumstances;

h) Their boat is adequately insured, with cover of at least £ 5million against third party claims.

•  In compliance with the General Data Protection Requirement Regulations 2018, all of the information provided on this entry form, excluding your payment details, will be stored on Jessica Gray PR computers on behalf of the British Classic Yacht Club, and on BCYC Committee computers so that we can manage your entry to the regatta. Management includes assigning your boat to the correct class, checking your eligibility for sub-races and prizes, checking your boat’s rating, sending necessary materials in the post to you, contacting you prior to the event to resolve any queries regarding your entry, contacting you during the event to inform you of messages, protests and other key information and providing printed and electronic lists that include your boat details (including sail number, name, hull colour, design and length) to our race management team.
• A subset of your data will be stored on our website and made publicly available so that your fellow competitors and other visitors can see who has entered the event. This data will be limited to your boat details, and any additional data you have provided about the Boat for public viewing.
•  The same subset of data will be made available to the media covering the event, together with the town and country in which you live, so that they can include a regional element in their reporting. The media will not be provided with further address details, and will only be given contact details with your approval.
•  We will use your contact details before, during and after the event to provide you with information about the regatta. You may opt out of these communications at any time, except that you may not opt-out of communications containing important safety or race management information for an event that you are currently entered for.
• We will retain your personal data on our servers after the regatta to provide you with information about subsequent events. We will also retain the website data as a historic public record of your participation in the regatta. You may request to see the personal information that we hold about you at any time and/or request that such personal information is deleted.  This data will be held in compliance with the GDPR and will not be shared with any third parties or used for monetary purposes outside BCW.
• Where you have expressly provided consent below, we will make your email address available for a limited time to our official photographers, official sponsors, and other third parties so that they may contact you. Use of your email address in this way will be restricted to the period from the date of your entry to December 31st following the event.
