Entry Information:
Entries will be considered official and confirmed once the Organizing Authority has received payment in full and the entry application has been reviewed and approved by the Organizing Authority. The review shall include but not be limited to a review of the boat, racing and open ocean sailing experience of the sailing participants. Any entry application may be reasonably or unreasonably declined by the Organizing Authority, without recourse by the applicant. The foregoing notwithstanding, each sailing and shore crew and other race participant agrees that the sole responsibility for the safety of each participant in the Worrell 1000 Reunion Race lies with that individual participant, and acceptance of an entry or of an entry’s personnel to participate in the race, in any capacity whatsoever, does not shift the responsibility to the Organizing Authority or to any other person or entity.
