I recognize sailing can be a hazardous sport which can result in serious injury or death. I accept the risks inherent in sailing and its environment, and I accept full responsibility for all medical expenses and claims incurred as a result of my participation in any activity of Whatcom Community Sailing (WCS) the Bellingham School District (BSD), and the Bellingham Yacht Club (BYC). I also agree to release, hold harmless and indemnify WCS, BSD, & BYC, its officers, shareholders, directors, agents, employees, coaches, and insurers for any claims for personal injury or property damage resulting from any cause including negligence, which arise out of participation in WCS, BSD, & BYC activities. This release is binding on me and all other persons, including family members, heirs and executors. This release does not apply to gross negligence or intentional acts of WCS, BSD, & BYC. All rights and responsibilities of the parties will be governed by Washington law, and any claims between the parties may be filed only in Whatcom County District Court. My signature below means that I have read, understood, and agree to the above terms and conditions.
