I
recognize that PHRF’s sole purpose in rating a boat is
to estimate the relative speed between boats, and to assign handicaps
accordingly. I understand that the
assignment of a rating for my boat by PHRF does not in any way constitute a
representation or warranty by PHRF that my boat is designed, maintained,
equipped, crewed, rigged, or operated in a manner that is safe and seaworthy for
the races I may enter using the handicap. I recognize that it is my
responsibility for the safety of my boat and crew in the wind, water and other
environmental circumstances encountered while using the
boat.
In consideration of being
granted a rating by PHRF, and in your acceptance of my race application, and
recognizing that PHRF neither inspects nor measurers boats prior to issuing
handicaps, I hereby affirm that I have examined all available information
relating to the design and equipment of my boat and certify that is seaworthy
and meets all other requirements of PHRF bylaws, USSA and USCG regulations, and
all other regulations relating to the race I enter. I acknowledge that it shall be the sole
responsibility of the skipper and crew of the boat to determine whether or not
to start, continue or finish a race.
The undersigned, for the total crew and guests and for the
representative, executors, heirs, successors and assigns, in consideration of
being permitted to enter the scheduled race, and being fully knowledgeable of
risks associated with the participation in these regattas, and do for myself, my
personal representatives, heirs, assigns, guests, and crew, hereby wave all
claims as may occur to me or to them against any and all organizations or
persons involved in the sponsorship or organization of this event, including but
not limited to the Tawas Bay Yacht Club, officers, directors, employees, agents,
and race committee, arising out of participation of the above yacht at any
event, or arising from any recent activities sponsored or governed by said clubs
and organizations. The owner or captain of each boat shall be fully responsible
for the action and safety of the crew and guests, and it shall be the
responsibility of each skipper to advise the crew and guests of the comments of
this agreement.
