Registration
Notice North American Rally August 20-27, 2011 Note: We are asking you to register by emailing Dick Harrington
at <rmharrington@sbcglobal.net>. A group of 12
choice campsites are being held by Hermit Island Campground for the
rally. Coordination for reserving these sites is
being handled exclusively by Dick Harrington through the campground
manager. The required reservation dates are for
the complete week of August 20th – 27th. However,
reservation dates can be changed at a later time by following the
normal campground procedure. If you wish
to add more days to your stay please indicate this in your Registration
e-mail. All
persons wishing to reserve one of these campsites should submit their
choice to Dick
no later than the December
13th. Applications received
after December 13th will not be able to take advantage of our group
booking of
choice sites because we will "return" any unclaimed sites to the
manager at that time. Following that some
time in January, you will
receive a bill in the mail. You are required to
pay an initial deposit (previously this was US
$125) with the balance due some time in
February. At this time you can also arrange (by
phone) to rent a boat slip in the marina if you wish. The
number of slips is limited. |
Preparation/Safety: All skippers/helmsmen will be required to
sign the following
declaration: I am satisfied that the
buoyancy within my boat meets the required standard for a Wayfarer
buoyancy certificate. Further, I have
checked, and am satisfied that the boat and all its fittings are
seaworthy. My crew and I will be sailing
with adequate weatherproof clothing and personal buoyancy.
I will be fully insured to cover damage to other craft and
personal liability. Whilst I appreciate
that every effort will be made to ensure everyone’s safety, I
understand that ultimately, I alone am responsible for deciding whether
or not my abilities are sufficient to allow me to go or stay out on the
water at any given time during this rally. In
matters of safety, I will err on the side of caution, and I recognize
that I will be sailing entirely at my own risk. |
