**** and not worth the paper it's written on... but maybe not"?

Do you have an expectation that you are entitled to someone’s insurance information from the regatta organizer when you demand they turn it over since Sailor X won't give you their information.


Is the NOR Statement... Must show PROOF of insurance as far as a regatta organizing committee should go with this issue?

If sailor X shows you a piece of paper that simply says... XXXX certifies “my name here” has insurance. Is that good enough? ...

What standard should the regatta organizer use when accepting your entry and the proof of insurance? Do you now spell it out in the NOR?

If there is a conflict between Sailor A and B.... Is the Regatta organizer supposed to get in the middle of it since they have records of the insurance information ...

If you turnover insurance information .... Against one of the parties involved wishes... Can you be held liable in a civil court?

Is the regatta organizer supposed to turn over the insurance info to both A and B when either A or B starts complaining?

Are they supposed to follow the protest hearing's final verdict and turn over info to the person found at fault?

Is the regatta organizing committee supposed to have a plan of what do do when the [censored] hits the fan?

If the policy of the regatta is ... follow the protest committee... does this mean for the rule which explicitly states "Protest committees do not determine liability" is for all intent... voided?

Did you think about these issues when you decided to collect or ask for proof of insurance when you wrote neither the NOR for this years racing?

Are you now thinking.... "OH fer chris sake!.... why did I volunteer to run the annual event?... Who asked for these headaches? Is Schneider an [censored] or what???

Just askin!!!!


As you might have guessed... I feel that the good ol fashion method... “your signature certifies that you have liability insurance” is as far as the Regatta organizing committee should go. After that... we have a pretty elaborate legal system to handle a dispute between A and B ... well short of a gun fight at noon!
