In consideration of, and as a condition of, my participation in the Lake Canyon Yacht Club (“LCYC”) 2024 SEW-MAD Regatta to be conducted on September 28, 2024, and the SEW‑MAD practice events to be conducted on September 14, 2024, and September 27, 2024 (collectively, the “Regatta”), I, on behalf of myself, my next of kin, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “I” or “me”) hereby knowingly and voluntarily forever waive, release and discharge LCYC, its officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, members, volunteers and insurers, (collectively, “LCYC”) from any and all claims, demands, rights of action, causes of action, damages, judgments, executions, expenses, court costs and attorneys’ fees, present or future, whether the same be known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, which I may have, or claim to have, against LCYC arising or resulting from any death, personal injury, property damage or any other loss which is sustained as a result of my participating in the Regatta and any activities related to the Regatta.
I hereby agree to abide by the policies, rules, and procedures of LCYC, including but not limited to any safety measures required by LCYC.
I hereby acknowledge that boating and racing are inherently dangerous, that serious accidents occasionally occur during boating and racing activities and that mortal or serious personal injuries, property damage and/or other loss may result from my participation in the Regatta (collectively, the “Risks”). I further acknowledge and agree that the decision to participate in the Regatta and any activities related to the Regatta is my responsibility alone and not that of LCYC or any person directing, undertaking, volunteering or assisting in the conduct of the Regatta and any related activities.
I understand that the Risks may be caused or result, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the negligent acts or omissions of myself or others participating in the Regatta or LCYC, and I hereby voluntarily and knowingly assume all such Risks and responsibility for any damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, court costs and/or attorneys’ fees that I incur as a result of my participation in the Regatta. I further agree to be responsible for any death, injury, property damage or other loss caused by me and/or any persons under my direction and control in the Regatta.

It is my intent that this release and waiver operate to fully and finally waive, discharge, release, hold harmless and acquit any and all claims that I may have (or may allege to have) against LCYC based on, arising out of, relating to or any way connected with the Regatta and all activities related thereto. I further intend that this release fully apply to and bind my and any agents, assigns, successors, spouse, heirs, partners and any and all other parties acting by, through or under me.
