HSC Challenger open meeting 2026

Conditions of Entry
-————————
All races will be sailed in accordance with the Racing Rules of Sailing 2025 – 2028 and the prescriptions of the RYA, the Challenger class rules and the sailing instructions of Hykeham Sailing Club. The Hykeham Sailing Club reserves the right to make any alterations that it deems necessary.

Competitors are entirely responsible for their own safety, whether afloat or ashore, and nothing in the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions or anywhere else, reduces this responsibility.
It is for each competitor to decide whether they are fit and competent to sail in the prevailing conditions. By launching or going afloat the helm confirms that he or she is competent to sail and that the boat is suitable to sail in the conditions.
No action by the organisers can reduce the responsibility of the competitors nor will it make the organisers responsible for any loss, damage, death or personal injury; however it may have occurred, as a result of the competitors taking part in the racing. The organisers encompass everyone helping to run the race and the event, and include the members and trustees of the Hykeham Sailing club, the race committee, the race officer, and safety boat crew.
The provision of safety boats does not relieve competitors of their responsibilities.

By completing this application, you are confirming the following:
- You are over the age of 18
- Agree to be bound by the conditions of entry
- Confirm that you hold a valid measurement certificate, which will be available on request
- The participant holds third party liability insurance of at least £5,000,000
