I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS INVOLVED WITH POWERBOATING, including but not limited to equipment failure, perils of the sea, acts of other participants, and adverse sea and weather conditions, and I HEREBY ASSUME SUCH RISKS.
I AFFIRM that I will obey the orders of the Captain appointed over me and the direction charter company.
I UNDERSTAND that harassment (as defined by Safe Sport) of any kind is not only unacceptable, will not
be tolerated, and is grounds for immediate dismissal from the course.
I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE A DUTY TO EXERCISE REASONABLE CARE FOR MY OWN SAFETY, AND I AGREE TO DO SO.
I assert that I am physically fit to operate and crew a boat. I will not hold the charter company and/or Center Helm LLC, or their employees, students, or other associated personnel, and their charter responsible if I am hurt or injured as a result of ANY problems (medical, accidental, or otherwise), including COVID-19 which occur while onboard the boat or otherwise participating in the class.
I fully understand that Center Helm and the chartered boat have limited medical facilities. In the event of illness or injury, appropriate care must be summoned by radio or phone, and treatment will be delayed until I can be transported to a proper medical facility. I agree in advance to these conditions.
Center Helm LLC has made no representations to me, implied or otherwise, that they or their crew can orwill perform safe rescues or render first aid. In the event I show signs of distress or call for aid, I would like
assistance and will not hold Center Helm, their staff, or students responsible for their actions in attempting the performance or rescue of first aid.
I understand that my interpretation of the material taught by US Powerboating, Center Helm LLC, and their staff, is exclusively my interpretation. I am fully responsible for the decisions I make and the judgments I use, whether inside the class or aboard any vessel thereafter.
I agree to forever discharge and release, US Sailing, Center Helm LLC, its employees, and agents, the owner(s) of the aforementioned companies and their affiliates, from any and all responsibility or liability for any and all injuries or damages. I agree NOT to make a claim against or sue any of the above parties for injuries or damages whether they arise or result from any NEGLIGENCE or other liability, EVEN IN CASES OF GROSS EGLIGENCE. I further specifically agree, on behalf of myself, my heirs, and assigns, to indemnify and hold harmless the released parties for any and all causes of action arising as a consequence of any incidents which might occur as a consequence of my participation in any boating activities or education with or involving the released parties.
