Registering for the 2024/2025 WSC season.
- Skippers need lodge a Safety Declaration for any boat they sail at the Club, regardless of whether they own the boat or not.
- Skippers need to lodge a Certificate of Insurance for any boat that they enter into a gazetted Club sailing event (i.e., gazetted racing, training or social sailing). The Certificate of Insurance must indicate that the insurance policy provides third-party liability insurance to the value of $10,000,000 for the boat.
- Skippers who are not the owner of the boat they sail have the responsibility to ensure that the insurance policy they upload also covers them as skipper (i.e., in addition to covering the owner of the boat).
