The responsibility for a person to participate in the 52nd Australian Hobie Cat Nationals is his or hers alone. I am conscious of the dangers inherent to catamaran racing. I agree that none of the organisations or persons involved with the regatta including McCrae Yacht Club, sponsors, volunteers, or any other involved persons or parties accepts liability for damages due in negligence or any other reason whatsoever while conducting or connected with this event for injury, to property or person, I may suffer while participating in the event and while upon the event premises. I know the risks of danger to myself and my property while preparing for and participating in the event, and while upon the event premises, relying upon my own judgment and ability, assume all such risks of loss and hereby agree to reimburse all costs to those persons or organisations connected with this event for damages incurred as a result of my negligence. Furthermore, I agree to be bound by the Racing Rules of Sailing, the Notice of Race and the Sailing Instructions and any other rules that govern this event. The organising authority will not accept any liability for material damage or personal injury or death sustained in conjunction with or prior to, during, or after the regatta. These terms do not operate to exclude any provision of the Australian Consumer Law that applies and cannot be excluded by agreement.
