Damage and Liability Policy

You can download and print the Damage Policy and Agreement required for all racers.

Mobility Cup is a unique event in that owners of boats are lending them free of charge. It is reasonable that they expect that they be returned to them in the same condition in which they lent them. Sailors are therefore encouraged to avoid collision at all cost.

  1. Sailor liability
    1. No sailor will be held liable for more than the $200 damage deposit.
    2. In the case of damage resulting from a collision of two or more boats before, during or after racing all parties involved will forfeit the damage deposit. No fault will be assigned.
    3. Should the cost of the repairs be less than $200, the parties involved will share the entire cost equally.
    4. The $200 damage deposit will be returned to sailors not involved in damages to the boat he/she sailed.
  2. Sharing cost of repairs
    1. It is assumed that every boat used in the regatta is insured and that it will be used to cover the cost of major repairs.
    2. Representatives of DSA owners will sign a “DSA-Boat Owners Loss & repair– agreement” to share the remaining costs of insurance deductibles once the $200 deposits have been applied.
  3. The Mobility Cup 2008 Organizing Committee, AQVA and PCYC will accept no responsibility for damages to boats or equipment.


DSA-OWNERS LOSS & REPAIR AGREEMENT

  1. It is assumed that all boats used in the regatta are insured against major damage and/or loss during the event.
  2. DSA-Owners are solely responsible for all boats and equipment while in transit to and from the event.
  3. The undersigned DSA-Owner representative agrees to share the balance of minor (less than $1000) repair and replacement costs after the sailor damage deposits are applied.
  4. The costs of repairs related to failures of the rigging, sails, mast and other equipment that occur during the regatta that are a result of wear and tear or lack of routine maintenance will not be shared.
  5. In the case of major damage DSA-Owners agree to share the balance of the insurance deductible (maximum $1000) after the sailor damage deposits are applied.
  6. Damage and/or loss will be verified by inspection and recorded by a representative of the Mobility Cup 2008 Organizing Authority. A report of all potential claims will be circulated to all DSA-Owners for verification within 14 days of the event.
  7. Claims for the actual costs of repairs or loss must be submitted with receipts within 90 days of the last day of the regatta.
  8. Once all claims are received the MC2008 Organizing Authority will calculate an assessment (share of costs) to each DSA-Owner. The sharing of expenses will be calculated on a pro-rated basis according to the number of participants sent by each DSA.
  9. Payment of claims will be made once the assessment of every DSA-Owner has been received by the MC2008 Organizing Authority.
