From a quick glance, the NOR looks fine, except for the indemnification agreement. RRS 82 (a US Sailing prescription) forbids indemnification agreements.
Eric,
I took part in the creation of the Dnorth documents...The statement in the NOR is not an indemnification or "hold harmless" release but is a disclaimer of liability. It does not hold the competitor liable for anyone else's property that an indemnification or hold harmless release would....which is what the US Sailing prescription rule 82 excludes. As far as I can tell, rule 82 does not prohibit the inclusion of a release of liability statement or liability disclaimer.
HOWEVER, the entry form that was recently published for area Dn does contain a hold harmless release and should be changed to a liability disclaimer instead...thanks for pointing that out - we'll work on that.
Lots of good information and guidance on this topic can be found on the US Sailing site at:
