Waiver and Release – In consideration of the acceptance of this entry, I herby agree that 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 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 or death, which I may have or in the future acquire against Eau Gallie Yacht Club and /or Melbourne Yacht Club, its officers, members, employees, volunteers or agents, 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 understand that 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. I agree that this waiver is binding on my heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. I agree to be bound by The Racing Rules of Sailing and by all other rules that govern this event.
