This declaration was developed after much discussion and
has been in use since 2009:
We
respect your rights and responsibility for your boat as
its Captain.
However, we will be sailing as a group to which
you will also
have a duty. Thus, we need your agreement with the
following
declaration.
Thank
you for your co-operation on this issue.
.......Alan
Asselstine, MAJAM, W7346
I
AGREE WITH THE DECLARATION; your full name; your boat
number; your
address.
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 out 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.
